FACTOR
POWER FACTOR IS THE MEASURE OF HOW EFFECTIVELY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
CONVERTS ELECTRIC POWER (SUPPLIED BY YOUR POWER UTILITY) INTO USEFUL POWER
OUTPUT

IN TECHNICAL TERMS, IT IS THE RATIO OF ACTIVE POWER (KW) TO THE APPARENT POWER
(KVA) OF AN ELECTRIC INSTALLATION
 CAUSE OF LOW POWER
FACTOR
• LOW POWER FACTOR RESULTS WHEN KW IS SMALL IN RELATION TO KVA.
• REMEMBERING OUR BEER MUG ANALOGY, THIS W

OULD OCCUR WHEN KVAR (FOAM, R MAC’S SHOULDER HIGHT) IS LARGE.

• WHAT CAUSES A LARGE KVAR IN A SYSTEM?

• ..... INDUCTIVE LOADS
• TRANSFORMER
• INDUCTION MOTOR
• INDUCTION GENERATOR
• HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) LIGHTING
 INTRODUCTION OF PHASE
ADVANCER
• A SOURCE OF REACTIVE POWER, CONNECTED EITHER TO CERTAIN JUNCTION POINTS IN AN
ELECTRICAL NETWORK OR DIRECTLY TO THE LOAD TERMINALS; IT IS USED TO COMPENSATE
THE PHASE SHIFT BETWEEN VOLTAGE AND CURRENT.

1. AS THE EXCITING AMPERE TURNS ARE SUP-PLIED AT SLIP FREQUENCY, THEREFORE,
LAGGING KVAR DRAWN BY THE MOTOR ARE CONSIDERABLY REDUCED
2. THE PHASE ADVANCER CAN BE CONVENIENTLY USED WHERE THE USE OF SYNCHRONOUS
MOTORS IS INADMISSIBLE

• HOWEVER, THE MAJOR DISADVANTAGE OF PHASE ADVANCERS IS THAT THEY ARE NOT
ECONOMICAL FOR MOTORS BELOW 200 H.P.
