POWER FACTOR



POWER FACTOR
When AC voltage used to an inductive load, the current lags the voltage by an angle Cosine of that angle will give P.F.

P. F. = cos

Other ways of calculating P. F. =

IMPROVING POWER FACTOR – In industries capacitor is used. 
   - In major S / Stations synchronous condenser is used.
For 110 V DC control supply, a transformer 250 / 84 V AC is used.

Reason for that is in AC RMS value = Peak value : Peak value = 84 × 2.
