Electric motor power efficiency has taken center stage. Individuals, corporations, and governments are increasingly interested in saving power, now that technology can make it possible and economy ...

Why is Power Factor important? The phase relationship between the ac-power-line voltage and current is related by a term called power factor. For a purely resistive load on the power line, voltage and ...

IN recent years the use of the three-phase system of distributing electric power has been rapidly extending. The great advances made in the methods of controlling economically the speed of induction ...

Voltage unbalance can be a common steady-state power quality problem that is harmful to 3-phase electric motors. The condition can cause overheating and insulation damage. The cost of damage to motors ...

So-called “Power Saver Devices” (known by different names) are nothing but Power Factor Correction (PFC) devices that would connect to the mains and improve power factor measured by your electricity ...

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

If there's one major thing that's holding back an electric revolution in the aviation world, it's energy storage. But there are a ton of very clever people banging away at the problem of how to ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
