Does magnetizing current change with load, I will think yes but there are few contradicting websites. eg : http://www.the-power-factor-site.com/motorcurrent.html

Magnetizing current is a physical constant based on the dimensions, materials, and winding configuration of the electrical machine in question. Why do you believe that it would vary with load?

That seems like a good site by the way, thanks for the link. I haven't read everything thoroughly yet to see if there is any hidden agenda such as the garbage of trying to promote PF correction as energy savings, but I don't think so.
