When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

Most facilities have power factor (PF) correction capacitors at the service, but those merely help you avoid a PF penalty on the electric bill. Those four big 400HP motors that drive your air ...

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 ...

Your utility Power Factor is the ratio of the system’s Real Power and the Apparent Power (Eq. 1, Fig. 1). This unitless factor ranges from −1 to 1. The Power Factor ratio aptly describes the type of ...
