Value of power factor is varies from 0 to 1. R→PF = 1 L→PF = 0 lag C→PF = 0 lead R-L→0 lag < PF < 1 R-C→0 lead < PF < 1 R-C-L→depends on value of R, L and C. PF = R/Z
Voltage equation for Dc shunt generator, Eb = V + Ia*Ra V = Ish*Rsh Ish = 200/100 = 2 A Eb = V + Ia*Ra 20 = Ia*Ra Ia = 20/0.2 = 100 A I = 100 - 2 = 98 A
The capacity factor is the ratio of an actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the maximum possible electrical energy output over that period. Nuclear power plants are at the high end of the range of capacity factors
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
