A motor drawing 50.0amps on an ammeter may have 30.0 amps of reactive current lagging 90 degrees out of phase behind the applied voltage and 40.0 amps of current in phase with the applied voltage doing work. If I remeber correctly that's a lousy P.F. of .75 and a lagging angle of 41.4 degrees. By adding powerfactor correction capacitors drawing 30.00 amps of current leading the applied voltage by 90 degrees. The motor's measured current will now be 40.0 amps. Saving 30.0amp coming from the utility generator to the motor and back. And the conductors now can be sized for 40.0amp. Only thing that reactive/capacitive current does is cause I squared R losses and require larger conductors. Now the current will just circulate between the motor and capacitor. The utility will just see the motors work load and minor losses. I realize the number don't appear to add up but we are looking at angles rather than straight lines.

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
