What is effect of power factor on change in voltage

Answer / badshah
Decrease in Power Factor, increases the Current flow
throught the circuit, which in turn cause more Cu.losses
(I^2*R) & Voltage Drop (I*R). It affects the supplier very
much, costing more power loss & Poor Voltage Regulation. It
also increase the Consumption cost more for the consumer.

Answer / balla
P=V*I*P.F
P.F=P/S
S=V*I
where P is power in KW and S is appearant power in KVA,
when V change while P remain the same it will decrease the
cureent and vice versa, so there is no affect on P.F , the
real affect on P.F is when there is change on power demand
either real or reactive.
If the voltage change can affect P.F why we dont use this
philosophy on P.F correction !.

Answer / rajsekhar mahapatro
power factor is depended on load but not on voltages or currents. So my dear engineers irrespective of the changes in voltages or currents and there is no change in load the power factor does not change it remains the same

Answer / maiden
PF = P/S
where P is True power in W and S is apparent power in VA. We
know that P = VI*cos(Phi) and S = VI so PF = VI*cos(Phi)/VI
It can be clearly seen that a change in voltage would affect
equally the P and S canceling any effect. What affects the
PF is the phase relationship between the voltage and the
current.

Answer / srinivas
power factor defined as the cosine value of the angle between voltage and current(cos@),it is not change with voltage,thats why there is no effect on power factor.

Answer / eeaadil
When the pf is lagging the Voltage tends to be low and
opposite is the case for leading pf

Answer / sultan
as power factor increase the real power consumed increases and the reactive power decreases so the voltage decreases. we install the capacitor to increase the voltage but due to this capacitor there is capacitive reactance which leads to increase reactive power and decrease the real power. Ingeneral pf and voltages are inverse relation
