The power factor of a single-phase induction motor is usually?
Correct answer: A. lagging
- A. lagging
- B. always leading
- C. unity
- D. unity to 0.8 leading
Explanation
The stator magnetising current of a single-phase induction motor lags the supply voltage, so its power factor is normally lagging. It is not unity or leading under ordinary operation.
