what is power factor for any engineering equipment?? what
should be its value?

Answer Posted / raji g

motor runs at 0.8pf it consumes 80% of active power and 20%
of reactive power.

Theoretically speaking the power factor is defined as the
cosine value of angle which between the voltage and current
