Answer / laxminarayan
In Industrial sector there are more inductive loads.The
inductive loads draws more load current.So maximum will be
the power factor less will be the load currnt.So power
factor should be maintained 0.97 to 0.99

Answer / ashish rai
It should be near to one(less than one) . but not to one.
For stability static device has come which control the
capacitor bank automatically. So there is no problem of
stability . If anyone are going for the small industry , he
should try to maintain it near to .95. .80 is not so
effective power factor now a days. It can be acceptable for
home application not for the industrial purpose.

We maintain 0.8 and above since we are penalised by KEB for
low pf. we generally maintain close to 0.9 by use of power
capacitors. Too high i.e. above .95 is too costly to
install and also the problem is that if power factor is
close to 1 then there are chances of high voltage affects
motors and we suffer more motor burning at our plant.

Answer / sandeep lole
In industries, mostly the loads are inductive type. So the
PF is low near about 0.8 lagging. Due to that the load
current is maximum.We can improve the PF by using Capacitor
bank in industrial substation. So that we can improve Pf
upto 0.99. For that proper design of capacitor bank is
important.

Answer / manish singla
I have always maintained Power Factor 1 (Not Leading Nor
Lagging) during my days with Maintenance Deptt.
Resulting in saving of Atleast Rs40k in monthly bills,
Better Voltage etc.

Answer / manish singla
In our state we get Incentive for maintaining Power Factor
over and above 0.90 Lagging till Unity.
Secondly, Maintaing Power Factor at Unity keeps your
distribution system healthy resulting in low line losses
within your premises as well inputs of your premises.
This is wrong statement that it will lead to burning of
equipments and premature failure of electrical equipment.

dear all, in motor operation , motor is of 100 hp and bimetal relay setting is 130 amp, if relay is getting tripped on 120 amp balance current what can be the reason? Relay is newly replaced. I dont know but is there any frequency effect in thit case? Can frequency variation affect bimetal relay operation?

my 10 hp submersible pump is tripping when connected through ELCB.I have checked the megger value of the coil's with body.It was found to be 0.2mega ohm.that is leakage is there.But when connected to mccb it is not tripping.no leakage current in the motor.Is it safe to connect to mccb? what are the problem's will arise if future?also tell me in ELCB no neutral is connected to motor.than how ELCB was working?
