La gran Mentira del Factor de Potencia

Do capacitors give your three-phase motor more torque? The short answer is a resounding NO! ❌ Many believe that correcting the power factor increases the motor's power or reduces active energy consumption. In this video, we debunk that myth by analyzing a real-world case of a 300 kW, 400 V motor. I'll mathematically demonstrate how the motor's torque and power remain unchanged, but by increasing the power factor from 0.75 to 0.92: ⚡ The line current in the cables drops from 577 A to 470 A. 🔥 We free the transmission lines from over 100 Amps that were only generating losses due to the Joule effect. Correcting the power factor doesn't benefit your machine's mechanics; it's a thermal efficiency requirement imposed by law to prevent overheating the distribution network. Understand real physics and avoid fines! 💬 QUESTION: What is the minimum power factor required by law in your country?
