why the power factor is low at no load?



why the power factor is low at no load?..

Answer / sarmadahmed

Because at no load, the only significant current component is Excitation current which is 90 degree out of phase with the supply voltage. Since pf = cos(@) and @ is around 90 here, power factor is very low.
