What are the disadvantages of leading power factor on generator supply system?

in case of leading power factor the air gap flux inside the alternator will increase which may cause over heating of the stator end coil and overhang portions.


Difference between transformer and induction motor?

1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.


What is leakage factor?

Why power factor is not present in direct current?

There is no angular gap between voltage & current in Direct Current. So power factor is always cos 0 deg. i.e. 1 for all tha cases of DC.

Why does the air gap leak when you run your dishwasher?

Your air gap is not supposed to leak. Check the hose that leads from the air gap to the garbage disposal for a clog. This should resolve your problem.


What is the resistance of an air gap?

The resistance of an air gap is effectively infinite until it reaches its arcover threshold voltage; then it drops to near zero as the air in the gap ionizes. It returns to effectively infinite when the current through the gap is insufficient to keep the air ionized.


Should the gap be closed on piston rings?

The gap should be closed on piston rings because of if there will gap on piston rigs it cause leakage of gasses which are produced by the ignition of air-fule mixture to provide force on piston by which piston reciprocate in piston chamber, it provide power stroke. If there will be gap on piston rings power stroke will not be provide...... AMIT DAGAR


Why is it important to have an air gap in a water rocket?

Water is non-compressible. The air gap is what allows additional air to be pumped into the rocket.


Is there a code for a 1'' air gap in a tub spout installation?

Yes and an air gap for a basin faucet and an air gap located in most dishwasher and washing machines. The actual size of the air gap is 2 times the effective opening (supply pipe) but in no case less then 1 "
