In terms of generators, the alternate power factor is generally 0.8 for most models. This factor is defined as the power needed to operate within the limits of he generator capability curve.
power factor 0.8 drops to .05 when two alternator running in parallel
No relation is there power factor is a unit less quantity.
at lower power factor current drawn by load is high and at higher pf the current drawn is less...
The 0.8 Power Factor provided by generator manufacturers is not the load power factor, but it is the nominal power factor used to calculate the kW output of an engine to supply the power for a particular alternator kVA output. Alternators are therefore designed to supply their rated kVA at 0.8 lagging power factor.
its vary between 0 t0 1 only .....pf =0.8
Regardless of the size needed by the heater, the car's alternator will be the limiting factor. If you oversize the inverter to more than the alternator can handle you may burn out the alternator. Heaters consume allot of amperage.
When a leading power factor load is applied, the voltage of the genset or genset bus rises, and the voltage regulation system reduces exciter power, reducing the strength of the magnetic field. If the field fails, the generator set may slip a pole, which results in potentially catastrophic alternator damage. pawan
no.... the power factor of any machine should be as near as to 1 when the power factor becomes near to 1 there is no need to the alternator to supply the reactive power.. but in general all most all the loads in the power system inductive in nature the power factor is becoming lagging(<1) so to avoid this the power generating companies and the govt. are recommending the people to have the capacitors at the load ends....... since the capacitive reactance can nullify the effect of the inductive reactance this will try to improve the power factor
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.
No, an alternator is not part of the power train. It is an auxiliary to provide electricity.
