The value of power factor of an induction motor operating at no load is

  • The value of power factor of an induction motor operating at no load is 0.2 lag.
  • At no load, the power factor of an induction motor is generally low, often around 0.2 lagging.
  • At no load, the motor draws a small amount of current to maintain its rotational speed, and this current is predominantly reactive, meaning it creates a lagging power factor.
  • As the load on the motor increases, the power factor generally improves, reaching a maximum value at or near full load.
  • At full load, the power factor of an induction motor is typically between 0.8 and 0.9 lagging. This is because as the load increases, the motor draws more current, and this current include
