M moonstreat New Member Sep 12, 2010 #1 Hello staff, I would like to help me solve the following exercise: Three-phase motor contains: 2 pairs of poles; 380V-50Hz; Absorbs 1750W laden; Power Factor is 0.75; Net power is 1500W; Absorbs 3.55A its speed is 1430 R.P.M. I would appreciate the formula for solving the reactive power of the engine!

The input power is 1750 W, and the power factor is 0.75 That means that the Volt-Amps is 1750 / 0.75 = 2333.333 W The Volt-Amps is the square root of the sum of the squares of the power and the reactive power. So 2333.333^2 = 1750^2 + [Reactive Power]^2 That makes the reactive power = 1543.354931454345 W
