what is the powerfactor

Answer Posted / amit rajak

power factor is the cosine angle between voltage and current
which balances both these electrical quantities.It is
ideally considered as 0.8 for electrical equipments for its
maximum efficiency.if it is not properly regulated than
there may be rise of any one of the above parameters which
will definitely effect the efficiency


it can be properly regulated by using capacitors in
domestic installation systems
