Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFMethod of power factor correction
- A synchronous motor is used for power factor correction.
- Synchronous motors can be used for power factor correction by adjusting their excitation to operate at a leading power factor.
- This allows them to compensate for the lagging power factor typically associated with inductive loads like induction motors.
- By drawing leading current, synchronous motors can neutralize the reactive power consumed by inductive loads, improving the overall system power factor.
- This leads to low heat generation and prevents excess thermal stress. With less heat, the risk of breakdown and component degradation decreases and increases the lifespan of the system.
