There is no single answer here, since the power factor varies with, and is a function of the load. A bunch of electric motors will have a very different PF than, say, a room full of computer servers. If the load is unknown, a rule of thumb is to use 0.85 (85%), but this would be no more than a guess.
A three-phase 'unbalanced' system refers to the load, as the supply voltages are unaffected by load. So the phase-angle and, therefore, the power factor of each phase will be different -i.e. there will be three different power factors.
Power Factor measures the difference in phase between the current and voltage. When they are in phase the Power Factor is defined as 1. When out of phase the value is less than 1. If they are 180 degrees out of phase the Power Factor will be zero.
The power factor for a three phase generator is 80 percent. The generator consumes 36 kilowatts and a line to line voltage of 400 volts.
Zero degrees.
Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.

No. It depends on the inductive and capacitive reactance of the load.
For a single-phase system, active (or 'true') power is the product of the supply voltage, the load current, and the power factor of the load.
The power factor of a load is the cosine of the angle by which the load current lags or leads the supply voltage. So if they are in phase (phase angle is zero), then the power factor must be unity (1).
Provided the load has a power factor of 1 power is transferred when the live is both positive and negative. The power pulsates at double the supply frequency in a single-phase system
Power factor is a measure of the ratio between the "True Power" and the "Apparent Power" of a system. THe variation from unity arises from the effect of certain components (namely capacitors and inductors) on an AC waveform, causing a phase shift between the current and the voltage. As a DC supply does not suffer from these reactive losses there is no reactive power and the current and voltage are always "in phase". With a phase angle of 0 degrees, the power factor is the cosine of the angle... cos 0 = 1 therefore unity power factor!

You want a power factor of 1 or 100%, which is a purely resistive circuit. If you have a motor or some other inductive load in a circuit the total voltage and total current in the circuit will not be in phase (phase shift), your power factor will be less than 1. By adding a capacitor (180 degrees out of phase with inductive load) to the circuit that has a capacitive reactance equal to the inductive reactance of the motor, you can cancel the phase shift and have an ideal power factor (no wasted power). Anything above .9 would be good.
how to connect power capacitor with 3 phase motor
Assume you are saying that the current and voltage are in phase and you want to know how power is affected. When Voltage and Current are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and you have maximum power being applied. When Voltage and Current are not in phase, Power Factor decreases from 1 toward zero.
ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
