In a previous post, I installed WinXP onto a dying Dell desktop. The age of PC hardware is measured in dog years. Mine has a Pentium III 933 MHz processor, to give you some idea. That is quite old. It’s older than WinXP. Installing an old version of Windows onto even older hardware is rather like putting a 500 pound man into a small car with a 90 hp engine and expecting it to keep…

What is Power Factor? Power Factor (PF) is the ratio of Power Utilized (KW) and Power Drawn(KVA). Generally, when the applied to the electrical motors, the entire power is not converted as useful Work Done(KW). Depending on inductance of the motor a reactive power (KVAR) is generated which results in drawing of excess KVA. PF = KWH / KVAH To reduce the KVA drawn, the inductive KVAR is to be nullified by introducing an equal…
