Answer / praveen420
No, it is not possible because
p.f=cos(angle)and cosine function is between (-1,1)....

Answer / rinto
no, it is not poosible to be the power facto more than
unity. because, cosine function has a maximum value 1 which
represents the p.f

Answer / rakesh
no, power factor can never be more than unity.
power factor is the ratio of real power delivered to the
apparent power.
=> pf = P/|S|
where P = real power,
s = complex power. s= sqrt(p^2 + q^2)
this means at most p can be equal to |s| if Q
i.e reactive power is zero.
so at most power factor can be unity.
real power (p)= v*i*cos(angle)
and apparent power = v*i
and that's why pf comes cos(angle).

Answer / shafi
No, Its not possible because cosine never more than 1
Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 0 No |
power factor = cosine of angle between v&I & angle cannot
be less than zero
cos0 = 1 if angle increases p.f will decrese
cos 30=0.8
cos 60=0.5
cos 0=1 there fore p.f cant be less than unity

Answer / mr.sharif
Actually P.F is related to the loads so it is not possible
for the P.F to beyond unity,If it goes beyond unity then it
is treated as power source & it is no more called as load

We have a 33/11kv switchyard having 12.5 MVA power transformer. We export & import power through this transformer. When we export power, the PF will be depend on GRID PF & when we import power the PF will be depend on our load PF. but the problem is that,when neither we export nor import but our 33KV vCB is in close position,our meter read the power factor 0.14 to 0.25 at that moment. So how can be we improve the power factor at that moment.
