what is disadvantages of high power factor..

Answer / niharika

Ideally power factor should be unity to have good efficiency and minimum losses.
if pf is higher than unity, current increases thereby increases losses (heat) and reduces efficiency..and may damage the conductors due to heating as current exceeds the rating value..
