Abstract
Chipper motors in pulp and paper mill environment are of special design-the stability on impact loads is one important consideration. The power factor under normal operation will continuously swing due to varying loads. This paper describes the guesswork-free rigorous calculations of pull-out (out-of-step) power factor based on the parameter of an actual installation. Single phasing is rather a rare occurrence; however, such an event has been experienced in an installation due to overheating and arcing at the fuse clips in a NEMA E2 starter of a chipper motor. Discussions on the single-phase protection of synchronous motors and recommended settings are provided.
