Answer / rabi

The stability of a generator depends on the field strength
of the magnetic field establishing in the air gap by the
rotor ampere turn. if the field is weakened the stability
margin is reduced.
Leading power factor causes field mmf (fm) to reduce and
rotor angle to increase towards 90 degree, the theoretical
operation of stable generation operation. Therefore a
machine operates well within its stability limit factor
with lagging power factor.
Transformer operation does not depend on power factor. For
that reason it is rated in KVA.

Answer / om prakash

Leading power factor makes the current leading the voltage
it does not affect the transofmer but it affects the
D.G./Power generation unit. As for the power generation we
need to excite the excitor field which take the sensing
reference voltage from the output line of the generator.In
case of leading power factor the voltage will not dip on
increasing the load and hence the AVR will not be able to
excite the system properly.

Answer / deepak chander

The transformer opration does not depends on the pf. The
major problem in leading pf is related to generation.
Stator end region heating depends on the pf. In leading pf
the altenator run at underexited operation and there is the
scope for flux to increase even over the saturation limit
of core. That causes the core heating on end region.

Answer / ramesh kumar gupta

Leading power factor does affect the power Xmer within its
VA rating but it affects the D.G./a Generator unit.Due to
leading power factor the source excitation system runs in
under excited state and the deficit in excitation has to be
supplied by stator.Owing to this stator end core heating
problem observed.

Answer / suresh

Leading power factor, means making Cos factor nearer to 1,
hence doing so you can achive the following,
1.partial reduction in load current hence losess get reduced
2.Efficency increases

LEADING POWER FACTOR IN TRANSFORMER THERE ARE REDUCE
INDUCTIVE LOADS

Answer / guest

Leading power factor causes the the current to reduce,due to
which the generator gets overloaded at its full load capacity.

Energy metering: On the property I am renting, the supply voltage is 2 x 110 volts. These 2 x phases enter a energy meter which then exit the meter to over head lines to my house. Question 1. The meter is single phase 240 volts but is being used as 2 x phase(2 x 110volt), is this acceptable? if not, please give me the reasons. The meter details are as follows: 60Hz 15amp Imax 100 amp Kd 3,6 Wh/R 1 fase 3 hilos Model FX 231. I think it was manufactured in Brasil From this meter, the cables run along over head aluminum conductors,I estimate the cross sectional area to be 25mm diameter, but the neutral is only about 10mm square diameter, which cover a distance of 170 meters and then terminate with an underground cable of 65 meter length, total length = 235 meters. There must be a huge voltage drop over this length. This line is protected with 2 x 200 amp aluminum fuses after the meter, there is no main switch in the distribution board. These 2 phases connect directly onto 2 busbars. Surely the neutral should be the same size as the conductors if not more? Question2. What are your thoughts about this installation, should there be better protection, is the neutral too small? During the night, the lights dim then brighten all the time, this cannot be good for my electrical appliances. In my home, I only have a small electric geyser and fridge, my stove works off gas. But when i use other appliances like the washing machine or microwave oven, the light dim. The internal wiring of this house is done with solid hard drawn copper wires and of course, they have to be under rated. I am a retired electrician by trade, but not on the metering and over head mains side, my experience is on the factory maintenance side of things. Your expertise on these matters will be greatly appreciated. Please inform me how to rectify or make any improvements Kind regards, my power bill is very expensive, so I need to know how to bring it lower. Kind regards, Brian
