    Single Phase Induction Motor & tripping GFCI

    The megger readings for the cable are normally around 1-1.5 megohms when submersed in water, otherwise it is generally infinite. The capacitors are 3-60uF in parallel for 180uF in series with the aux. winding. I agree the cable cap losses have nothing to do with the volt-current phase angle...

    Single Phase Induction Motor & tripping GFCI

    aolalde, Thanks for the reply, if I understand you correctly you are saying the cap losses are cumulative. The more conductors the greater the losses. That does make sense. Although, one thing I did not mention is that we also have 3 phase units out there that operate on runs longer than 400'...

    Single Phase Induction Motor & tripping GFCI

    We manufacture aeration pumps/fountains. Our latest product line are large units, which use 7.5 & 10HP motors. Because of the weight of the units, about 200-250lbs., the capacitors for the single phase permanent split-capacitor (PSC) motor models are mounted on shore in the control cabinet. The...

    Ground or Earth Leakage Voltage

    We have a customer from Singapore requesting the "earth leakage current" of the machinery that we manufacture. We are in the U.S. and we understand that there is a small leakage current to ground, but have never had a customer be concerned about it. Can anyone help me with this...

    Delta xfrmr secondary: Line to Neutral Relationship

    What is the line to neutral mathematical relationship in a delta connected transformer secondary? As in, why is the "wild leg" voltage 208 volts, when the line to line voltage is 240 volts?
