SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR

Anonymous Poster	SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR 11/19/2007 10:16 PM
	I NEED HELP WITH THIS.... When operating at rated load, a 120 VAC 60HZ single phase induction motor can be modeled as a 10.8 ohm resistor in series with a 25.3 millihenry inductor. Under these conditions, what will be the power factor?

	If it is as you say a 10.8 ohm resistor and a 25.3 millihenry inductor all you need to do is draw a triangle of the impedances and measure the angle to get the power factor. Simple! __________________ A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - Googling is far worse!
