What happen to the phase angle if the value of capacitor is fixed and the value of resistor is changed?

The phase angle will either go up or down as well, depending on the new value of the resistor.


How capacitor and resitor in a circuit effect the phase of input voltage?

A capacitor and a resistor has no effect on the supply voltage; however, this particular load combination will cause the load current to lead the supply voltage by some angle termed the 'phase angle'.


How do you measure the capacitance of 3 phase capacitor in active line voltage of 3 phase circuit?

You measure the capacitance of a capacitor in an active circuit by observing the voltage across it and the current through it. That gives you, by Ohm's law, the impedance of the capacitor. Plug that in the the equation for capacitive reactance, and you get capacitance. Note: There is no such thing as a three phase capacitor. A capacitor is a two terminal device that resists a change in voltage inversely proportional to its capacitance. You connect one capacitor to one phase. If you have a "three phase capacitor", then you are talking about three capacitors. Deal with each one separately.


Why do you connect a capacitor to an AC motor?

To induce a phase shift between the rotor and stator (stationary winding). AC motors are not good at starting up, they need 'help' to get started/they need two magnetic fields to push against each other to generate torque. This capacitor is called a 'starting' capacitor and provides an extra 'boost' to get the motor turning by increasing the phase angle between the rotor and stator winding. Once the motor is at it's proper operating speed, the capacitor must be disconnected or it will burn up. There are also motor designs that use a run capacitor. This capacitor usually has a smaller capacitance than a start capacitor (so it provides a smaller phase shift), but is designed for continuous operation. These motors don't provide as much starting torque as a similar motor with a start capacitor. Other motors will have both a start and run capacitor. The start capacitor provides significant phase shift between the rotor and stator, and thus significant torque. Once the motor is at speed, the start capacitor is switched out of the circuit, and the run capacitor is left in the circuit to provide a smaller phase shift.


How do you find whether it is inductor or capacitor if only power factor is given?

in case of inductor or capacitor power factor is always zero.as power factor is cosine of phase angle between voltage and current. in case of inductor and capacitor phase angle between voltage and current is 90 so it become zero so if given power factor is zero then it can be inductor or capacitor.

Phase limit in induction furnace?

It means the Phase anlge is not matching with control board phase angle or more capacitor connected in the furnace line. we have to Remove some tank capacitor.

A series RC circuit will have a phase shift between 0 and 90 degrees?

If there are only a resistor and a capacitor in the circuit, then the phase shift will indeed be between 0 and 90 degrees. When the resistor and capacitor are in series, the phase shift will be negative when the capacitor is connected to a source voltage and the resistor is the load. The phase shift will be positive when the resistor is connected to the source. The lower the values of R and C, the higher the frequency bandwidth.With the resistor and capacitor connected in series and the two parts connected to a current source, the phase shift will be negative. At high frequencies, the output voltages is lower, and the circuit appears as a very low impedance. At low frequencies, the circuit looks more like a resistor. Again, the phase shift will be between 0 and 90 degrees.CommentThe correct term is phase angle, not 'phase shift'. By definition, the phase angle is the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage. For an RC circuit, the current leads the voltage, so the phase angle is a leading phase angle.


How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?

Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.

What is a correction factor capacitor?

i know that static capacitors are used to improve the power factor. power factor should be high. Static capacitor supplies lagging reactive power. That means; the current I has 2 components they are magnetising Im (watless or waste current) and useful current Iw. Iw is in phase with voltage and Im is 90 degree away. Phase angle between them is phi 1. power factor is given by cosine of phi 1. phi angle should be less so that cosine of phi is high. To make phi angle less we use capacitor; this is nothing but power factor correction and capacitor used for this is called power factor correction capacitor. now when a capacitor is connected, it induces a current Ic 180 out of phase from Im and less in magnitude from Im. therefore, now the magnetising current is Im1=Im-Ic. due to this the phase angle reduces to phi 2. now the new power factor is cosine of phi 2. it is improved power factor.

Why can a run capacitor with a single phase motor remain in circuit after the motor starts?

Because from the capacitor characteristics at first it will charge and then it will stsrt to run so when the motor get power from single phase capacitor take time for charging. Amit.
