Itos Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Greetings Mike, Thanks for your responses. Meanwhile, I would like to ask concerning the power factor correction for single phase motors, is the correction different from 3 phase motors? Regards, Itos [Edited on 26/6/02 by marke] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Yes you can correct single phase loads as well as three phase loads. The single phase load is corrected by connecting a capcitor between the phase and neutral supply. Be careful with capacitor selection however, because most formula and charts assume a three phase supply and load.

Itos Posted June 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Greetings Mark, For single phase motors, can we apply your company's electrical calculations for static correction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 The Electical Calculations Software is designed for three phase applications. I could add a single phase section as well if this is useful.

Itos Posted June 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Greetings Mark, Yes, that would be very useful if you were to add some calculations for single phase motors Kindly let me know how and when I can expect it. With much appreciation, iT:DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
