    Phase attriubute identification for large commercial building

    Can you explain the voltmeter thought as the voltage at the source is much different than the voltage at the load

    Phase attriubute identification for large commercial building

    What equipment or tool is rcommended or how does one identify which phase attribute a specific area in the building is on when the circuit is deep inside a commercial complex and without taking an outage.

    Power Factor vs. Load Imbalance vs. Cost of Generation

    Electrictman, After our discussion last week, somehow I lessened the improvement of Pf you stated and typed it as .01 on the reply today. My mistake.

    Power Factor vs. Load Imbalance vs. Cost of Generation

    Utility owned Three Phase 7200v Power Distribution System heavily loaded on 'A' Phase. Okay, I agree that load imbalance does not "directly" effect Pf but if load imbalance does cause voltage differences on three phase systems, how is it then that you would not agree that this...

    Power Factor vs. Load Imbalance vs. Cost of Generation

    In reply to DPC reply and working with the idea of voltage imbalance causing poor Pf. Does not voltage imbalance cause lower Pf? Does not load imbalance cause voltage imbalance? If these both are true, then correcting load imbalance must correct poor Pf to some extent. My initial question more...

    Power Factor vs. Load Imbalance vs. Cost of Generation

    How would someone calculate what the savings in generation costs would be to a utility if the load imbalance on a distribution system was corrected. The thought is this will correct the low power factor to some extent.
