Power :Definition: Power is defined as the capacity of a system to perform work or Rate of work performed by a system.Symbols and Types of Power:Pdc= V.I , in watts. Note: Pdc= PrealPapparent = S = Apparent Power (kVA) or Total AC
PowerPreal = P = Real Power Comp. of Apparent Power, in kWPreactive = Q = Reactive Comp. of App. Power in kVAR Pappent = (Preal)2 + (Preactive)2 orS= (P)2 +(Q)2

Power Factor :Definition: Power Factor is defined as the Ratio of Real Power (kW) to Apparent Power (kVA). It is also defined as the quantity cos(θ - φ).
PF = P/S orPF = cos(θ - φ),
where θ is the angle of voltage V, where V = VRMS ∠ θφ is the angle of current i = I RMS ∠ φ
Note: Detailed discussion on the topic of Power Factor is covered under the Power Factor segment of this seminar.

Voltage Regulation:Definition: Real voltage sources are unable
to hold the voltage constant as they assume a significant amount of load (Resistance or Impedance). This results in the difference between Vno load and Vfull load.The formula for Voltage Regulation is as

Service Factor of a Motor:
Definition: Service factor of a motor is the ratio of safe to standard (nameplate) loads. Service factor is expressed in decimal. The formula for Service Factor is as follows:Service Factor = Safe Load / Nameplate Load

Classifications of Motors, contd.:
Motor Class is determined by the maximum allowable operating temperature of the motor, which is dependant on the type/grade of insulation used in the motor.
Class A: 105° CClass B: 130° CClass F: 155° CClass H: 180° C

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL):Algebraic sum of voltage drops around
any closed path, within a circuit, is equal to the sum of voltages presented by all of the voltage sources. The mathematical representation of KVL is as follows:Σ VDrops = Σ VSource

Motor Slip: Slip is usually expressed in percent and can be computed as follows:
Percent slip = (Synchronous speed - Actual speed ) x 100Synchronous Speed
Induction motors are made with slip ranging from less than 5% up to 20%. A motor with a slip of 5% or less is known as a normal-slip motor. A normal-slip motor is sometimes referred to as a 'constant speed' motor because the speed changes very little from no-load to full-load conditions. A common four-pole motor with a synchronous speed of 1,800 rpm may have a no-load speed of 1,795 rpm and a full-load speed of 1,750 rpm. The rate-of-change of slip is approximately linear from 10% to 110% load, when all other factors such as temperature and voltage are held constant. Motors with slip over 5% are used for hard to start applications.
The direction of rotation of a polyphase ac induction motor depends on the connection of the stator leads to the power lines. Interchanging any two input leads reverses rotation.

Motor Torque, Power and Horsepower:
Torque is equivalent to the amount of work performed. Torque can be considered as turning effort. For example, suppose a wheel with a crank arm one-foot long takes a force of one pound to turn at steady rate. The torque required would be one pound times one foot or one foot-pound.
Horsepower, i .e. Power, is defined as the rate at which work is performed or rate at which torque is produced.
In the wheel cranking example above, if one were to crank the wheel twice as fast, the torque remains the same but the power and horsepower delivered would double, regardless of how fast the crank is turned, as long as the crank is turned at a steady speed.

Miscellaneous:Demand: This term means the highest average power (kW) in a given interval, or demand interval. Electric utilities charge commercial and industrial customers for the peak demand set each month. Peak demand: This is the maximum demand used in any demand interval for a given month. Load factor: The load factor is the ratio of average power to peak demand. Utility customers are sometimes penalized for low load factor that can occur when large amounts of power are used in short periods of time, instead of at a steady rate for long periods of time.
NEMA: National Electrical Manufacturers Association; www.nema.org– NEMA, created in the fall of 1926 by the merger of the Electric Power
Club and the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies, provides a forum for the standardization of electrical equipment, enabling consumers to select from a range of safe, effective, and compatible electrical products.

Power Factor, contd.:Leading Power Factor:
Power factor is said to be leading when, φthe angle of the current, exceeds θ, the angle of the voltage.In other words, (θ - φ) is negative.Impedance, Zc, due to pure capacitance reactance, Xc, has a negative angle. Or, Zc = Xc ∠ -90
Power factor is said to be lagging when, φ the angle of the current, is less than θ, the angle of the voltage.In other words, (θ - φ) is positive.Impedance, Zl, due to pure inductive reactance, Xl, has a positive angle. Or, Zl = Xl ∠ 90
In Inductive Circuits, add Capacitance, or Capacitive Reactance, Xc, to offset the Inductive Reactance, Xl, and to Increase the PF.
Zl = Xl ∠ +90=+j Xl
