a motor runs on the classic power triangle. Real power is what's dissipated into a coupled mechanical load. The overhead non unity currents fall into the previous post. That is easily demonstrated with correction applied at the load, resulting in supply lines delivering unity, or real power. The correction, being reactive in nature, does not add to the 'load', but rather exposes it's true, or real quality.What about an electric motor as a load?

What does all that have to do with the fact that a motor is an electrical load which draws power from the electricity supply and outputs mechanical work to a mechanical load?a motor runs on the classic power triangle.

Hook one to an alternator which powers the motor, and I'm certain you'll know a motor is a "load".What about an electric motor as a load?
