WHAT IS POWER FACTOR ? |
Power factor is the relationship between working (active) power and total power consumed (apparent power). Essentially, power factor is a measurement of how effectively electrical power is been used. The higher the power factor, the more effectively electrical power is been used and vise versa. A distribution system's operating power is composed of two parts: Active (working) and Reactive (non-working) magnetising power. The ACTIVE power performs the useful work...the REACTVE power does not as its only function is to develop magnetic field required by inductive devices. |
