If you're planning to increase your electrical load by adding a new major appliance, make sure your panel can handle it. Here's how.

Here is a simple method for estimating the actual load on an electric motor without special equipment. But first, a word of caution: Some applications (e.g., a large forced draft fan) require more ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...

Why is Power Factor important? The phase relationship between the ac-power-line voltage and current is related by a term called power factor. For a purely resistive load on the power line, voltage and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We present three alternative ways of introducing the load factor into a typical cost function employed in the analysis of electricity ...
