Is it possible to power factor more than unity?
Answer Posted / 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).

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
