There is no SI symbol, as such, for power factor. As power factor is the cosine of the phase angle (the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage), power factor is normally written as 'cos' followed by the lower-case Greek letter we pronounce 'phi' (I've no idea how to type a Greek letter in this answer!).

Why generators are rated at 0.8 lagging power factor?
Rated power factor
What is low power factor watt meter?
A wattmeter reads the true power of a load, regardless of its power factor.
Power factor formula?
Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power over total power. Total power is the vector sum of real and reactive power.
Is it possible to transmit power with leading power factor?
The power factor depends on the properties of the load, and if any power factor correction is done it has to happen at the load, so that the current in the transmission lines is reduced. Correcting the power factor at the sending end fails to address the problem.
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
Pf of a load?
Pf is the symbol for Power Factor.
Convert 20 kva to kw?
Your question cannot be answered, unless the power factor of the load is specified. Since true power(measured in watts) is the product of apparent power(measured in volt amperes) and the power factor of the load.So, given your figure of an apparent power of 20 kV.A(not 'kva'*), the corresponding value of true power could (theoretically!) range from20 kW at a power factor of 1.0, to0 kW at a power factor of 0.(*The correct symbol for kilovolt ampere is 'kV.A', not 'kva', and the correct symbol for kilowatt is 'kW', not 'kw'.)
What is the symbol of power?
Then symbol of power is most commonly a lightning bolt.
What is Aphrodite's symbol of power?
Aphrodite`s symbol of power is the seashell and the mirror.
What is the symbol for Power REIT in the AMEX?
The symbol for Power REIT in the AMEX is: PW.
What is the power of a factor?
power factor means kw/kva
What does the circle and line symbol on most computer power buttons stand for?
The circle and line symbol that appears on most computer power buttons is simply the symbol for Power. This is a universal symbol and it used on computers in many countries. It is considered the universal symbol for Power On/Off.
A symbol used to write a number?

How do you find power input with given power factor and power output?
Output Power divided by Power Factor.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of unity power factor?
There is no disadvantage of unity power factor, because at unity power factor all the electrical power is efficiently utilized by the the load, and at lagging power factor some power is lost in the load's magneticfield.
What mean power factor 0.26 lead?
When looking at power factor, it is the ratio of watts (true power) to VA. The power factor is how we measure power systems. A person with a low power factor like .26 will have a higher electricity bill.
What is the symbol for Atlantic Power Corporation in the NYSE?
The symbol for Atlantic Power Corporation in the NYSE is: AT.
