what do you mean by leading power factor & lagging power
factor

Answer Posted / r. p. sirohi

If in a electrical Circuit, the current lead the voltage , then it called leading power factor ex- Capacitors load.
If in a electrical circuit the cuurent leg the volatage , then it called lagging power factor ex- Inductive load.

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
