NEON- Re: Power factor & Load Current
>>>In my never-ending effort to better understand the functioning of
transformers, I came up with several questions today. Any feedback would be
great.
I was working with one of the installers re. a channel letter job. He was
determining the load current of the transformers so that when installing on the
building, they'd be able to properly load the fuses to the sign. He was using
Table 6-4 on page 101 from Miller to do this.
Now, here's where my questions come in. There was some discussion as to which
of the tables to use. Initially, I was understanding that we should be using
the table for "Uncorrected Power Factor," but after some challenging, I was
beginning to be unsure. I went back and read the section on Power-factor
Correction (pg. 62) and became more convinced that I was correct.
I guess part of my confusion is in the different terms that I've heard used.
