Figure 4-110: Power Factor Conventions
In a synchronous machine, this type of machine can operate in lagging (under excitation),
lead
ing (over excitation) or unity power factor conditions depending on the applied field
current. As shown in below figure, V-curves are normally provided by the machine
manufacturer to determine the relationship between the filed current and power factor.
