A single phase motor connected to 400 V, 50 Hz supply takes 25 A at a power factor of 0.75 lagging. Calculate the capacitance required in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.95 lagging.
The speed regulation of a motor expresses how much its speed varies between no-load and full load. The synchronous motor runs at a constant speed whose magnitude is dependent on supply frequency and the number of poles. Since the speed of the motor is constant hence its speed regulation is zero. Under no-load conditions with normal excitation, armature current Ia drawn by a synchronous motor lags the applied voltage V by a small angle.
