i heard that power factor(PF) is the main concern for
industries, if they are maintaining PF around 0.6 they will
be fined for that. now the question is, how can they improve
the PF ranging between 0.9 to 0.95 which is safe for them
i,e escaping from the fine?

Answer Posted / amit biswas

inddustries mostly use static variable compensation (SVC)
technique for pf improvment.

Nowwhy dose pf drops? Due to inductive loads(eg.due to
arcing furnaces)

what SVC scheme dose is it proptionatly increases
captcitacne with inc. inductance or vice versa.

also using syc. motors can improve pf
(remember sync. motor is also called sync. condensor)

Can u explain : what is supply for train (whether a,c or d.c ).I know that supply is 25000v a.c .But there is rumour that supply is D.C. And also explain how lights and fans inside the trains are working ,and what type of motors are used in trains whether D.C motors or induction motors .If d.c motor, how it gets supply.If traction motors are used then what are traction motors and its functions and how it differs from other motors and also explain about locomotive . y d.c series motor in train.train wheels r driven by D.C shunt motor ,at what voltage,and at what speed. please reply..............
