Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current. It is also KW/KVA.

How do you find the power factor with true and apparent power?

to put out the power fector you have to divided apparent power with true power.AnswerYou can determine the true power of any load using a wattmeter. To find the apparent power, you use a voltmeter to measure the supply voltage and an ammeter to measure the load current, and multiply the two readings together.If you then want to go on to find the power factor, then you divide the true power by the apparent power. If you want to find the reactive power you use the following equation:(reactive power)2 = (true power)2 x (apparent power)2

How do you calculate amp draw if you have 1 phase volts and kw?

For a single phase supply: you need to know the volts, kW and the power factor. If the power factor is unknown, assume 0.75, except for heating elements which have a power factor of 1. Multiply the kW number by 1000 then divide by the voltage. The answer should be divided by the power factor to find the current in amps.


How do you find whether it is inductor or capacitor if only power factor is given?

in case of inductor or capacitor power factor is always zero.as power factor is cosine of phase angle between voltage and current. in case of inductor and capacitor phase angle between voltage and current is 90 so it become zero so if given power factor is zero then it can be inductor or capacitor.

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.
