I am still interested in trcking this down. Now trying to find the book referenced last (Alternating Current Machines), can't seem to come up with a copy in any of the library networks here (MA). Also a little confused on the phasor diagram you referenced first - it shows V(sub)G which is the...
Thanks a lot fella's. I am now convinced that I have been drawing the phasor's correctly. My interest is in low inductance motors and I now see that the leading PF is caused by the high ratio of L to R in the winding which results in a nearly 90 lag between resultant voltage(V in and back...
There is no question that it happens in just this way. The question I'm wrestling with is the mechanics of why. In other words, the physics of the process. All would be well if the input waveform and the back EMF were in phase but we both know this is not (and shouldn't be) the case. Try...
I am trying to figure out why, and more precisely how, the power factor is affected by a synchronous motor. My model is an input voltage source in series with a resistance and a negative voltage source representing the back EMF. I also am choosing insignificant inductance such as a servo might...
