K Factor Also called an Overhung Load Factor. A constant used to modify the overhung load rating of a gearbox based on the type of load applied on the shaft. Use the K factor either to increase the calculated overhung load, or to reduce the gearbox overhung load rating.
maximum demand load can be calculated as: # maximum demand=demand factor * Connected load or by # maximum demand = connected load * Diversity Factor Note: Demand factor and diversity factor are NOT same
PLF of Hydal Plant - 100% or 101%
When you need to calculate the estimated load or load current during initial design phase or so, you need to assume a value for power factor which is realistic. 0.95 is a realistic value.
If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging calculate the apparent power and reactive power Answer: Apparent power = Active power / Power Factor In this case, Active power = 50 kW and power factor = 0.5 So Apparent power = 50/0.5 = 100 KVA
Load Factor
If you multiply kVA by Power Factor (Ranges from zero to one) you get watts which is effective power.
Power factor doesn't necessarily 'improve with the load', but it is determined by the load.
the maximum load factor without structural damage to the aircraft. Load factor = 1 / (cos (angle of turn))
Divide actual annual usage by the daily peak usage multiplied by 365 days
Power factor can be unity. If the load is purely resistive, then the load current and supply voltage are in phase, and the load will have unity power factor.
I assume that you are asking how to calculate the 'value' of a capacitor? Well, it depends what it is used for. If, for example, it is used to improve the power factor of a load, then it is first necessary to determine what the load's existing reactive power is; then, you need to know what reactive power is necessary with the power factor at its desired value; finally you need to difference between the actual and the desired values of reactive power -and this will be the necessary value for the capacitor. Power factor correction capacitors are rated in reactive volt amperes, not farads.
