  2. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    Electrical circuits containing predominantly resistive loads (incandescent lamps, devices using heating elements like electric toasters and ovens) have a power factor of almost 1, but circuits containing inductive or capacitive loads (electric motors, solenoid valves, transformers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and others) can have a power factor ...

  3. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    is the resistive power loss (SI unit: watt) The motor constant is winding independent (as long as the same conductive material is used for wires); e.g., winding a motor with 6 turns with 2 parallel wires instead of 12 turns single wire will double the velocity constant, , but remains unchanged.

  4. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    Many useful motor relationships between time, current, voltage, speed, power factor, and torque can be obtained from analysis of the Steinmetz equivalent circuit (also termed T-equivalent circuit or IEEE recommended equivalent circuit), a mathematical model used to describe how an induction motor's electrical input is transformed into useful ...

  5. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Since most power systems of any significant size have a net lagging power factor, the presence of overexcited synchronous motors moves the system's net power factor closer to unity, improving efficiency. Such power-factor correction is usually a side effect of motors already present in the system to provide mechanical work, although motors can ...

  6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  7. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    One use for this type of motor is its use in a power factor correction scheme. They are referred to as synchronous condensers. This exploits a feature of the machine where it consumes power at a leading power factor when its rotor is over excited. It thus appears to the supply to be a capacitor, and could thus be used to correct the lagging ...
