Abstract |
|
This paper describes the power factor improvement of 3-phase induction motor, as improvement of power factor is necessary for industries & to make power factor as close as unity without facing penalty from electrical distributers. Induction motors are the most widely used electrical motors due to their reliability, low cost and robustness. For industrial and mining applications, 3-phase AC induction motors are the prime movers for the vast majority of machines. At no load induction motor has very low power factor. It improves at increasing load from no load to full load. Power factor improvement is achieved by using proper algorithm with sufficient capacitors are switched on in order to compensate the reactive power. The circuit in this design has been implemented and tested in the laboratory. |
