729.~ Power-factor control


DEFINITION

Classification: 318/729

Power-factor control:

(under subclass 727) Subject matter wherein the system includes means connected to the primary member, the secondary member, or to both to change the electrical angle between the voltage and the current in one or both of the members.

(1) Note. Means for adapting an induction motor for operation from a source of supply having a number of phases different from that for which the motor is wound are not included here even though the power factor may be affected by such means, particularly when condensers are employed in a phase splitting arrangement. See Search Notes below.

(2) Note. The change of phase may be for starting or running the motor.
