Impedance :
Definition : Impedance is the current
resisting and impeding characteristic of
load or conductor in an AC Circuit.
Symbol for Impedance: Z

Z = R + jXl - jXc
Where, jXl = Zl and, -jXc = Zc
Unit for Impedance: Ohms or s.

Power :
Definition: Power is defined as the capacity of a system
to perform work or Rate of work performed by a system.
Symbols and Types of Power:
Pdc= V.I , in watts. Note: Pdc= Preal
Papparent = S = Apparent Power (kVA) or Total AC
Power
Preal = P = Real Power Comp. of Apparent Power, in kW
Preactive = Q = Reactive Comp. of App. Power in kVAR
Pappent = (Preal)2 + (Preactive)2 orS = (P)2 +(Q)2
Magnitude of Total (3 ) Power = S= 3. VL.IL
16
Power Factor :
Definition: Power Factor is defined as the Ratio
of Real Power (kW) to Apparent Power (kVA). It
is also defined as the quantity cos( - ).
PF = P/S or
PF = cos( - ),
where is the angle of voltage V, where V =
VRMS
is the angle of current i = I RMS
Note: Detailed discussion on the topic of Power
Factor is covered under the Power Factor
segment of this seminar.
17
Voltage Regulation:
Definition: Real voltage sources are unable
to hold the voltage constant as they assume
a significant amount of load (Resistance or
Impedance). This results in the difference
between Vno load and Vfull load.
The formula for Voltage Regulation is as
follows:
Voltage Reg. = (Vno load - Vfull load)/ Vfull load x 100%
18
Service Factor of a Motor:
Definition: Service factor of a motor is the

ratio of safe to standard (nameplate) loads.
Service factor is expressed in decimal. The
formula for Service Factor is as follows:
Service Factor = Safe Load / Nameplate Load
19
Classifications of Motors:
Motor categorization by NEMA, National
Electrical Manufacturers Association:
Speed:

Service Classification:

Varying Speed
20
Classifications of Motors, contd.:
Motor Class is determined by the maximum

allowable operating temperature of the motor,
which is dependant on the type/grade of
insulation used in the motor.
Class A: 105 C
Class B: 130 C
Class F: 155 C
Class H: 180 C
21
Kirchhoffs Voltage Law (KVL):

Algebraic sum of voltage drops around
any closed path, within a circuit, is
equal to the sum of voltages presented
by all of the voltage sources. The
mathematical representation of KVL
is as follows:
VDrops = VSource
22
Kirchhoffs Current Law (KCL):
Total current flowing into a node is

equal to the total current that flows
out of the node. The mathematical
representation of KCL is as follows:
iin = iout
23
Motor Speed Calculation:

Given:
Number of Poles = P = 4
Frequency of AC Power Supply to the Motor, in Hertz = f = 60
Hz
Speed, in RPM = S = ?
Formula: S x P = 120 x f
S = (120 x f ) / P
S = (120 x 60) / 4 = 1800 RPM
24
Motor Slip:
Slip is usually expressed in percent and can be computed as follows:
Percent slip = (Synchronous speed - Actual speed ) x 100

Synchronous Speed
Induction motors are made with slip ranging from less than 5% up to
20%.
A motor with a slip of 5% or less is known as a normal-slip motor. A
normal-slip motor is sometimes referred to as a 'constant speed'
motor because the speed changes very little from no-load to full-load
conditions. A common four-pole motor with a synchronous speed of
1,800 rpm may have a no-load speed of 1,795 rpm and a full-load
speed of 1,750 rpm. The rate-of-change of slip is approximately linear
from 10% to 110% load, when all other factors such as temperature
and voltage are held constant. Motors with slip over 5% are used for
hard to start applications.
The direction of rotation of a polyphase ac induction motor depends on
the connection of the stator leads to the power lines. Interchanging
any two input leads reverses rotation.
25
Motor Torque, Power and Horsepower:
Torque is equivalent to the amount of work performed.

Torque can be considered as turning effort. For example,
suppose a wheel with a crank arm one-foot long takes a
force of one pound to turn at steady rate. The torque
required would be one pound times one foot or one foot-
pound.
Horsepower, i .e. Power, is defined as the rate at which

work is performed or rate at which torque is produced.
In the wheel cranking example above, if one were to crank

the wheel twice as fast, the torque remains the same but
the power and horsepower delivered would double,
regardless of how fast the crank is turned, as long as the
crank is turned at a steady speed.

Fundamentals Of Electricity in Industrial and Commercial Environment
Motor Power Line Current Calculation:
Motor Nameplate Information:

Power rating, in HP (Horse Power) = P = 10 HP
Voltage Rating = 480 VAC
No. of Phases = 3; also stated as 3
Power Factor = PF = 0.8
Efficiency = Eff. = 0.9
Magnitude of Line Current = FLA, Full Load Current = I = I = ?
Note: 1 HP = 746 Watts = 746 W = 0.746 kW
Formula: I = Power in Watts / PF / Eff./ (3 x VL)

I = 10HP x 746 W/HP/0.8/0.9/(3 x480VAC)
I = 12.46 Amps
28
Miscellaneous:
Demand: This term means the highest average
power (kW) in a given interval, or demand
interval. Electric utilities charge commercial and
industrial customers for the peak demand set
each month.
Peak demand: This is the maximum demand
used in any demand interval for a given month.
Load factor: The load factor is the ratio of
average power to peak demand. Utility
customers are sometimes penalized for low load
factor that can occur when large amounts of
power are used in short periods of time, instead
of at a steady rate for long periods of time.
