A synchronous motor is connected to an infinite bus at $$1.0p.u$$ voltage and draws $$0.6$$ $$pu$$ at unity power factor. Its synchronous reactance is $$1.0$$ $$pu$$ and resistance is negligible.
Keeping the excitation voltage same, the load on the motor is increased such that the motor current increases by $$20\% $$. The operating power factor will become
