What is the effect if power factor is above 1 or unity.
Answer Posted / jothiprakash.t
Power factor is cosine angle between Voltage and
current.Suppose a alternator of capacity 5000KVA is
operated at unity powerfactor,then it means it can supply a
maximum load of 5000KW load (KW=KVA*P.F).If a same
alternator is operated at 0.8 p.f ,then it can deliver only
4000KW Which means the alternator was loaded maximum.To do
maximum loading of alternator then its power factor has to
be unity or close to unity.
If power factoris above unity, then -ve KVAr itself acts
as a load causing more current to draw from mains Which
leads to heating and also losses.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
