What would be a estimated range of possible power factor values for the 80 HP motor in a dryer unit?

I'm attempting to estimate energy consumption of these units and have readings for the voltage and current but have been unable to find the power factor.

Hi Nick,

Could range from very low (30%) at no-load to pretty high (85%+) at full load.

It's really impossible to tell without a power factor meter or a watt meter...

Good on ya,

Goober Dave
