The instrument works on the principle of a combined bridge-vector-meter and it is capable of analyzing capacitive and inductive loads. HAEFELY HIPOTRONICS has launched the new high precision tan δ/ ...

The power factor measurement has long been accepted as an invaluable tool for identifying insulation defects, such as ageing, deterioration, moisture ingress and localized failures, involving the ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...

The scope of this article is to introduce a method to measure the power factor in a 50 Hz alternating current transient. The circuit shall be a R-L type. By acquiring only the current wave and, ...

Motors and generators are critical components of electrical systems. They are used to automate numerous industrial processes, circulate liquids for cooling and lubrication purposes, and generate ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
