Power factor is the cosine of the angle by which the load current lags or leads the supply voltage. It is expressed as a per-unit value: e.g. 0.8; in the past it has been expressed as a percentage value , e.g. 80%.

How many 2 ton window Ac can runs on a 125 KVA generator?

power consumption of a 2 ton ac will be in the range 2-3kw.so if we assume the power factor as 0.8 then power will be 100kw.therefore for 2kw power consumption we can install 50 units ans for 3kw we ca install 33 units by cosidering safety factor of 100%.if the safety factor is 80%..we can install 40 units -26 units respectively..... santosh.andhra pradesh


How do you compare two lengths that are measured in different sized units?

You can mutiply or divide the units to find the answer.


What is the effect of inductive load in distribution system?

Inductive load where current lags voltage to keep the power factor low thus increasing the consumption of more electrical units of supply provider. This is since an inductive load draws reactive power as well with active power. Reactive component is watt less power drawn from the source. We use only active part of the source. But pays from active+reactive parts. This low power factor also effects the other systems in the circuit virtually making the cables under sized by heating them


How many volts are in 850 watts?

Watts and Volts are different units. It is like asking how many apples are there in 6 oranges. Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor Power Factor ranges from zero to one.


What is the amperage for a 480 volt 108 K w unit?

Use the formula: power = voltage x current x power factor If you don't know the power factor, assume it is 1 - this is close enough for many devices. In units: power (in watts) = voltage (in volts) x current (in amperes)

How many watts do a 1000 VA UPS use?

Depends on the type of UPS Line interactive units will consume 1000VA but only deliver 700VA to load double conversion units 1000VA but only deliver 850VA to load It is better to treat the VA as unity Power factor when calculating the size of supply IE 1000VA = 1000watts if you know the power factor of the equipment you are going to supply you can get the wattage like this 1000 x Power factor (ie 0.8)=watts (800)


What is the units digit of 7 to the 15 power?

Power 2: units digit 9. Multiply by 49 again to get power 4: units digit 1. So every 4th power gives units digit 1. So 16th power has units digit 1, so the previous power, the 15th must have units digit 3.
