Determining electric motor load and efficiency

As we known,the electric motor is the one of important equipment to drive the operation smoothly from beginning to end of product. Electricity cost normally around 60% came from electric motor running.It become more worth if installed motors are oversized,low efficiency,under design,poor maintenance or mismatched. So to know the actual motor performance, we need to determine [...]

Capacitor sizing for power factor correction

Commonly method for power factor correction using the capacitor to generate reactive power ( kVAR ) to reduce apparent power ( kVA ) form inductive load. This time i want share a simple method to sizing our capacitor to improve power factor for induction motor and utility electricity.This method also can use for capacitor bank [...]

Single phase capacitor sizing

When install a motor using capacitor for starting or running methods,we must sizing the rated of capacitor suitable with motor to get correct starting torque and avoid winding from overheating and can cause a damage. This is basically a question of motor design.There is no straightforward regular relationship between capacitance and the motor size in [...]

Single Phase AC Motor

Basic principles of operation Electromagnetic field generated from the stator does not rotate.It is a repeater between the poles as the poles alternating ac voltage changes polarity. The induced voltage in the rotor is the result of magnetic induction, and then the magnetic field produced around the rotor.This field is opposite to the stator field [...]
