What is mean by power factor?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The Cosine value of the angular difference between Voltage
and Current is known as power factor (PF) also the ratio of
active power and reactive power is known as PF.

Answer / santhoshbca
The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined
as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the
apparent power [1] [2], and is a number between 0 and 1
(frequently expressed as a percentage, e.g. 0.5 pf = 50%
pf). Real power is the capacity of the circuit for
performing work in a particular time

Answer / rekha.k.m.
pf means it is that portion of current which is used for
doing active work .e.g if the pf is 0.8 it means that 80%
of the current is taken for doing active work and the rest
20% is used for creating magnetic field.

1. It is the ratio of real power(active) and apperent power.
p.f = kw/kva
2. It is the cosine angle bet voltage and current.
It is denoted by the angle of cos.
3. It is the ratio of useful power to total power in the circuit.
4. In the resistive circuit power factor will be one bcs of no any reactive power here(ideally).

I have 500A load (WHICH IS SEPARATE MDP PANEL),an MCC panel with 4000A Breaker.Already I have 2500A load.Can I connect this load directly to the Busbar since I have PROTECTION IN MY MDP Panel ?
EXPLAIN WORKING PRINCIPLE OF ALTERNATOR & MOTORS.
I have 4 busbar of 1000 ampere. we use 4 busbar to make 4000 ampere in one phase.my problem is that when we applied 60% load on that then busbar produced high noise.what is the reason of that and how can i minimize that noise.
