Power Lab 4

The document describes an experiment measuring the performance characteristics of an ohmic-inductive load and a pure inductive load. It provides tables showing voltage, current, power, and power factor measurements for inductances of 1.2H and 1H under increasing current loads. It analyzes how power loss, efficiency, and voltage regulation increase with higher current loads. For the pure inductive load, it explains that a small amount of active power is consumed due to the internal resistance of the inductor.

Introduction: What is an inductive load?


Basically inductive loads are those loads which consume reactive power (Q).
Reactive/Inductive Load – An inductive load converts current into a magnetic field.
Inductive reactance resists the change to current, causing the circuit current to lag voltage.
Examples of devices producing reactive/inductive loads include motors, transformers and
chokes.

Resistive loads only resist the current and are the simplest type of load. In inductive loads,
such as an electric motor, the voltage wave is ahead of the current wave.
If the impedance at the load has the form of Z=R+jX, where R and X are positive real
numbers, then the network is called inductive.

Reactive power=V×I cosØ

Inductance=1.2H

V1(v) I1(A) P1(w) Q1(VAR) I2(A) V2(v) cosØ2 P2(w) S2(VAR)

233 0.3 48 42 0.58 195 0.431 44.7 103.5
231 0.49 91.5 52.5 0.7 186 0.71 88.5 124.5
229 0.62 117 63 0.8 180 0.804 111 138

What characteristic feature is common for the voltages in all measurement?
When the inductance begins to be magnetized, at the first moment of time, the current
through it is minimal, although the applied voltage of the source is already at the maximum
point.

With a decrease in voltage, the current through the inductance already has a sufficiently
large value, therefore, as the source voltage approaches its minimum, the current growth
rate in the inductive load slows down, but the current itself in the inductance is maximum,
by reducing inductance voltage drop increase due to reactive power decrease, the higher
the cos φ, the more energy supplied from the source enters the load. So you can use a less
powerful source and less energy is wasted.

For inductance=1H

P1(w) P2(w) P1-P2


48 44.7 3.3
91.5 88.5 3
117 111 6
156 145.5 10.5
From the table above we determine that with the increase of (I2) power loss also increase.

The efficiency also decreases with (I2) increase. ŋ=P2/P1

For inductance=1H

V1(v) V2(v) %age Voltage regulation


233 195 19.4%
231 186 24.2%
229 180 27.2%
226 169 33.7%
From the above we determine that voltage regulation increase with the (I2) increasing.

%age Voltage regulation= (V1-V2)/V2

From the pure inductive data we see that power factor is small because we don’t have
active power and this small power factor is from the internal resistance of the inductor.

No resistive load:

L=1H

V1=234v, I1=0.2A, P1=13.5W, Q1=42VAR, V2=197V, I2=0.54A, P2=10.8W, S2=100.5VAR,

CosØ2=0.1

Why does the inductive load also consume active power (cosØ2 does not equal zero)?

Because of the internal resistance of the inductive device cosØ2 is not equal to zero
because of that some of the total power is turned into active power.
