Best Answer

Capacitive loads have a leading power factor. Current leads voltage when there is capacitive reactance. (The opposite is inductive, which is lagging.)

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 the relationship betweenth the power factor and the load?

No Load factor is average power consumption rate divided by peak power consumption rate over a period of time. Power companies like customers who have very steady consumption rates ......Load factors approaching 1 Power factor is true power / apparent power (kW/kV.A) and is a measure of how efficiently a customer's load consumes power. Certain types of electrical loads consume power more efficiently ( resistive element heating ) and they have a Power factor approaching 1. Other types of load such as old inductions motor are quite wasteful consumers of power and the utility has to provide more current ( amperage ) for the load to convert to real power


What is the difference between displacement and true power factor?

'Displacement power factor' is the technically-correct term used to describe the cosine of the phase angle (i.e. the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage) due to the reactance of a load. Usually, when we talk about the 'power factor' of a load, we mean 'displacement power factor'.However, another type of power factor can exist in a circuit, due to the presence of harmonics in the current waveform, due to non-linear loads such as SCR rectifiers. This type of power factor is temed 'distortion power factor', and may be corrected using filters.So, the terms 'displacement' and 'distortion' are used whenever it is necessary to clarify these different types of power factor.


What is misllenious loads acting on aircraft?

Below is a partial list of types of miscellaneous loads on aircrafts: • Ground handling loads • Control surface loads • Door loads (passenger, cargo, landing gear, and access) • Pressure loads (cabin, fuel tank, and local surface) • Nose radome loads • Fluid system requirements • Seat and floor loads • Auxiliary power unit loads (APU) • Environmental control system loads (ECS) • Jacking and mooring loads • Fixed leading edge loads


Can be the power factor become negative reading?

Yes, power factor can be negative. That is the case of a generator. Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current, and the cosine can be positive or negative.AnswerNo. Power factor can be 'leading' or 'lagging', but it cannot be 'negative' or 'positive'.

Name type of circuit load which the apparent power is greater than the active power?

these two types of circuit loads are the purely capacitive loads and purely inductive loadsAnother AnswerApparent power will be larger than true, or active, power in ANY circuit, other than a purely-resistive circuit or an R-L-C circuit at resonance.

Is a power factor capacitor different from a regular capacitor?

A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.
