Answer / md. zakir hosen

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 / manesh.k

The angle created between voltage & current is referred to
as Power Factor.It depends mostly on the load.This plays a
great role in determining the power a load takes.

Answer / maneshwarier

Sorry,Mr Zakir bhai is correct,it's the cosine of angle.

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 / ramakrishnan

PF = KW / KVA

It is the Ratio of KW and KVA

Answer / prakash.p

difference between incoming power and out going power (or)
difference between RMS value by apparent value

power factor= kwh/kvah

Answer / arun.b

COSINE OF ANGLE BETWEEN THE VOLTAGE & CURRENT

Answer / a.sathish

acutal power by apperent power

pf= w\v*I

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.

Answer / rajeev democrat

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).

Why do we have 110V, 230V, 415V etc. in electrical transmissions? Why not 100V, 200V,400V?

1.After synchronising the alternator to the grid,how we r delivering power to the grid?if the i/p increases does the speed hence frequency increases? 2.y the power factor is changing when exitation changes?what is the relation with p.f and flux?

11KW Delta motor is taking about 44Amps in star and goes upto 70Amps in delta and trips OFF. The rated current is 26Amps. Application is for the blower. The motor takes ( no load without coupling impller ) only 2.5A and 5Amps in star & delta starter test.Need to know why its taking high current.

This is about the recent problem that we have faced in our project site. We have 6/7.5 MVA. 66/11kV three phase star - star power transformer. The neutral was solidly connected to the earthing mat. But because of high resistance of earthing mat (130 ohm on LV and 180 ohm on HV), one day LV side neutral earthing conductor melted and we had a huge damage. Can any one plz tell me what might happen when we connect power transformer neutral to the earthing mat which has high resistance (>100 ohm ) ?????
