When induction motors is used for power factor correction what is called?
I'm not sure I've ever seen an induction motor used to correct power factor; it is usually the induction motors that are causing the poor power factor. "Power factor correction" is usually accomplished by adding capacitors to the system to counteract the inductance of large motors.
Why are capacitors required to be in capacitor banks?
Capacitor banks are used to control the power factor in a power system. By connecting suitable capacitors the power factor can be controlled / maintained at a desired level. The requirement of a capacitor changes as the load changes dynamically. The same amount of capacitors can not maintain the desired power factor all the time. To be able to connect only the required number of capacitors, multiple (bank of capacitors) capacitors are included in a system. An automatic controller senses the actual power factor and connects and disconnects the capacitors from the bank as required
Power factor correction capacitors?
Yes, they exist. Capacitors are often used to change a low power factor (such as 0.5) to a higher power factor near unity (1). In some instances, this will lower fees and costs to utilities. In homes, this is not really necessary as most devices used in homes are near unity power factor, or tend to be minor/sporadic loads (such as a washing machine).
What is power factor significance in calculating the AC power?
Power Factor is one of most significant parameter in calculating AC Power. As we know it is cosine of angle between AC Voltage and Current it comes in picture while calculating power in AC circuits Power In AC (P) = Voltage (V) X Current (V) X Power Factor Let us take an example of Power with Power factor and without power factor for same circuit. Let Us assume V = 125 Volts I = 1 Amp Power Factor = 1 Then P = 125X1X1= 125 Watts But for any circuit when Power factor is below 1, to execute same power, Circuit has to draw more current. for example P = 125X 1.25 X 0.8 = 125 Watts In first example power factor of the circuit was unity = 1 and in that condition current of the circuit was 1 amp whereas in second example power factor of the circuit is 0.8 due to which current of the circuit increases to 1.25 amp to execute the same power. Now due to increase in current of the circuit many factors are affected like heat loss, Conductor's specification , Class of insulation etc. Thus it can be concluded after going through above explanation that power factor play a significant role in AC power calculation as well as in actual practices.
When will i use 0.82 power factor?
There is no significance to a power factor of 0.82.
When will you use power factor 0.82?
There's no special significance to a power factor of 0.82.
What is the effect of an unbalanced load of generators?
An unbalanced load prevents the generator delivering its maximum power. That is because each phase has an equal upper current limit that it can deliver, and in an unbalanced system, if one phase is delivering the rated current it follows that the others are not.

What are the advantages of three wattmeter?
The three wattmeter method provides a reliable way to measure total power in three-phase electrical systems, especially in unbalanced loads. It allows for accurate power measurements regardless of whether the system is wye or delta connected. Additionally, this method can help identify power factor issues and assess individual phase contributions, making it valuable for comprehensive system analysis and optimization.
How does 3 phaase unbalanced system differ from balanced one?
In a three-phase unbalanced system, the voltage magnitudes and phase angles between the phases are unequal, resulting in varying amounts of power being delivered to each phase. This can lead to unequal loading on the system components and reduced efficiency. In contrast, a balanced system has equal voltage magnitudes and phase angles, ensuring equal power distribution among the phases and optimal system performance.

Why Voltage x Current do not equal rated power?
In an AC system power is equal to Voltage x Current x Power factor. Power factor is not constant and depends on the type of the load. Ideal value of the Power factor is 1, where as practically remains less then 1.
How calculate power factor on three face generator?
I think you mean 'three phase', not 'three face'!Power factor is a function of the load, notthe generator. The power factor of the load can be determined from its true power (expressed in watts) divided by its apparent power (expressed in volt amperes). For a balanced load, this can be done by manipulating the following equation:True Power = 1.732 VL IL x power factorWhere VL and ILare the line voltage and line current.For an unbalanced load, it is rather more complicated than can be explained in this forum.
