Usually for a power factor lower that 90% a service charge will be added to the monthly electrical bill. On power factor correction calculations try to get the power factor up to 95%.

How does Induction Lighting compare with LED lighting?
We offer Induction Lighting solutions for very sound commercial reasons, but we are acutely aware of, and do often use LED and T5 lighting systems in our solutions. LEDs have an extensive feature in our portfolio and in many cases are a viable option and our designs take all factors into consideration. However, when high light outputs are required our experiences to date favour Induction lighting to ensure a robust, cost effective solution, when payback periods are the crucial factor, especially in applications requiring the minimum of maintenance.

What is the minimum value of power factor of a circuit can have under what circumstances can this occur?
Power factor is the cosine of a circuit's phase angle. A power factor of 0 (its lowest value), therefore, results from a circuit whose load current leads or lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees. In practise, this is unlikely to occur, as it requires either a purely-inductive or a purely-capacitive load and, real-life circuits have resistance.
What is the minimum sun protection factor to use in a sunscreen?
Many dermatologists recommend a sunscreen protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more.
What is significance of stability factor in biasing of BJT?
Stabity factor is not a circuit.It is a parameter,which decides the ability of Biasing circuits,to keep the Q-pt stable in the center of DCLoadLINE.It should be as low as possible
Different types of power factor in different circuits?
The different types of power factor are: # Leading ( Due to Capacitive Circuit) # Lagging (Due to Inductive Circuit) # Unity (Due to Resistive Circuit)
What is meant by leading and lagging pf?
Power Factor is the ratio of true vs apparent power, and comes into play with a reactive (inductive or capacitive) load. A purely resistive load, such as a light bulb or toaster, will have a power factor of 1 because the current is in phase with the voltage. An inductive load, however, such as a motor, will have a power factor less than 1 because the current lags the voltage. You could also have a capacitive load, with a power factor less than 1, but in this case the current leads the voltage.AnswerThe terms, 'leading' and 'lagging' refer to whether a circuit's load current is leading or lagging the supply voltage. Current will 'lead' in resistive-capacitive (R-C) circuits, and 'lag' in resistive-inductive (R-L) circuits. So, a 'leading power factor' indicates a leading current, and applies to R-C circuits, while a 'lagging power factor' indicates a lagging current, and applies to R-L circuits.
Can people go on x factor at age 14 or 15?
No. The minimum age is 16.
What is the least common factor of 4510?
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
It is acceptable to under rig a load because the safety factor will more than compensate for the difference?
I cannot imagine this being acceptable, unless there is some emergency situation that requires completing the lift at the specific time.
