    I have a 125 HP, 600 RPM, 480/60/3 225 FLA induction motor driving a piston compressor. It keeps tripping on O/L (set at 234A). I put a power analyzer to it, and this is what I got: 81 kW, 175 kVAR, 193 kVA, 0.42 PF, 3 phase A 231/231/231, 3 phase U 482/482/482. Does this sound like a defective...
