what is the power factor..

Answer / devesh mishra

p.f can be defined as:
a)Cosine of phase angle b/w V & I.
b)effiency of any machine.
c)current consumption of any machine as P=VIcos @
i.e cos@=P/(VI)=p.f
I=1/p.f
i.e more the p.f ,lesser the current consumption .

d)the rate of tariff charged by the electricity
boards.

( Re: WHAT SHOULD BE THE RATING OF MCCB FOR 415V,3Ph,50KVAR CAPACITOR BANK Answer # 1 The capacitor current would be kvar x 1000 / (415 x sqrt3). This would be 70a approx. The MCCB selected should have *atleast 1.4 times this current i.e. 1.4 x 70= 98. So you should choose at least 100 A mccb.) regarding to this answer,i would like to know why the current have to times 1.4 to get the right amphere for the mccb.hows the formula to get the 1.4??tq
