Suppose am having the PF value .8, so how can we say that
is it lagging or leading?

Answer Posted / mukund

if you are considering any equipment such as motor or
lighting load such as fluorescent lights
most of the loads are inductive in nature
you are talking about 0.8 lagging p.f.

people are using capacitor banks to improve p.f. upto unity
in this case it is definately 0.8 lagging p.f.

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
