What is cos on an electric motor?

Cos phi is a European term used on a motor to differentiate between apparent power (kVA) of an inductive load as compared to the active power (kW) that is really used by the load. Cos phi= active power/apparent power. In North America a more familiar term would be power factor. Power factor = kW/kVA


How do you put sec cubed in a calculator?

sec x = 1/cos x → sec³ x = 1/cos³ x or sec³ x = (cos x)^-3 Therefore to enter sec³ x on a calculator: Newer, "natural" calculators: mathio: sec³ x → [x-power] [cos] [<angle>] [)] [navigate →] [(-)] [3] [=] lineio: sec³ x → [(] [cos] [)] [)] [x-power] [(-)] [3] [)] [=] Older, function acts on displayed number calculators: sec³ x → [angle] [cos] [x-power] [3] [±] [=]

What is the Formula to calculate KVAR?

{| |- | capacitance of the capacitor is mentioned in KVAR. Formula : KVAR = KW*tan@ FOR tan@, First note the power factor & KW without connecting capacitor. The noted power factor is in cos@.Convert the cos@ value in tan@. for ex. If power factor is 0.6, KW = 200 cos@ = 0.6 cos-1 (0.6) = 53.1 tan (53.1) = 1.333 200*1.333 = 266.6 KVAR if you use 266 KVAR capacitor, Then the power factor improves to unity (1.000). |}


Why does the rotor of an alternator at rated power dissipates more heat at a low power factor load than at a high power factor load?

Equation for power in an AC circuit is Power (P) = root3 Voltage (V) x Current (I) x power factor (cos phi) P = root3 V I Cos Phi. Value of cos phi is maximum 1. Normally 0.95 and above is considered to be good. root 3 and V assuming to be constant, if the cos phi is low, to be able to supply rated power, the system draws increased current (I). With increased current IR and copper losses increase resulting over heating of the motor.
