Single phase induction motor usually operates on__________?
Correct answer: A. 0.6 power factor lagging
- A. 0.6 power factor lagging
- B. 0.8 power factor lagging
- C. 0.8 power factor leading
- D. unity power factor
Explanation
A single-phase induction motor normally draws magnetizing current and therefore operates with a lagging power factor, commonly around 0.6 in basic textbook descriptions. It does not normally operate at unity or leading power factor.
