yep
firing ang ~ ph ang ~ pf
in essence pf is indirectly controlled
need more power? increase pf

as you pointed out earlier P = T w (where w = 2 Pi n)
if the load resists a speed increase Z drops and i increases, and therefore T
motor overcomes load and speeds up increasing power

it is an amazing dynamic

must have mixed them up, correct 102 kw (using an iphone lol)

from chart 3.4.3
rated V for electroncs 380 V min x 1 A = 0.380 va
at the bottom of the chart it states losses at rated output 676 w
fld 16 x 325 = 5.2 kw or ~ 6.7 kva

eff = 102/(102+5.2+0.676+0.38) = 0.94

Pin = 175 x400 x sqrt3 + 6.7 + 0.38 = 128.3

pf = 102/128.3/0.94 = 0.85

Iphone is bad friend to engineer I see. :) Siemens guys would literally choke on their holidays mug of beer. And uncle Siemens would turn in his grave if he knew about 0.73.:)

Actually increasing V does it.
Increasing Va increases Ia
The proportionality is between torque and Ia.

that is what I said
Z decreases, i increases, as does torque

i = V / Z
so if Z decreases, i increases
V constant at a given speed

if the load resists a speed increase Z drops and i increases, and therefore T

My posts are still being deleted it would seem. Why?

Z is not applicable to DC motors.
BEMF changes with RPM. What changes current, thus torque, is the difference between applied voltage, Va, and BEMF

a DC motor has no inductance or resistance?

exactly what I said
the controller applies a fixed armature V
since Z decreases as motor approaches a stall load>T
Z will decrease, i will increase, as will T

For variable speed DC. The armature voltage is not fixed. It varies more or less proportionate with speed.
Z = ωL -1/jωC
There is no ω with DC.
I wish to discontinue this discussion.

Yes, above base speed. Armature voltage controls it up to base speed.
And some don't run above base speed.

???
uh no

perhaps instead of attempting to lecture and correct folks responding to the op, YOU actually answer the op's query?

his question: pf?
he gives the model and manual link
give it a shot

I did answer that point.

hello guys,

I will look at this pdf.

I see you are still not tired of that.:)
Here then perhaps one more question on PF calculation. Please look at attachment.

Chelny

assuming the DC motor is the one we have been discussing
need the input power for the AC motor

DC machine
S = 128 kva, pf = 0.85, ang = arccos 0.85 = 31.8 deg
S = P + jQ = 0.85 x 128 + j sin31.8 x 128 = 108.8 + j67.5

need to do the same for the AC
S = ? kva pf = 0.92, ang = arccos 0.92 = 23.1 deg
need S for the AC????

It clearly shows how power factor varies with speed for a DC motor. Note this AC input power factor that you would expect for a shunt wound separately excited machine which many are.

There are series wound machines. Typically these are used in traction applications and combustion engine starter motors. High torque at low speed is the main attribute.
I've had a few encounters with them but really my area.

his machine is a shunt wound seperately excited as shown in his drive manual and most recent attachment

his last post asked how to arrive a system pf for an ac and dc motor on the same bus
he needs to give us S for the ac motor
