Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...
Power Factor (PF) is a measure of how a load draws power from the source. When the current phasor leads the voltage phasor, PF is leading and when the current phasor lags the voltage phasor, PF is ...
