We have a 1000 kw, 400v, 50 hz generator working for commissioning. Since beginning, we experience low power factor when load is less, typically .45, but when the compressor motor, rated 250 kw, started running, power factor increases to .81. I suggested the cause can be attributed to the temporary feeder cables which at several points where bundled together, instead of usual practice of segregation. Could there be any other reason for this?
