The desired power factor value is 1. The PF is closest to 1 if the load is pure resistive. In an industry, the load is mix of resistive and inductive, more so largely inductive, the power factor tends to be less then 1 , lagging, which is not desirable. Hence power factor regulator (controller) together with suitable capacitor banks (to compenesate for lagging PF , in order to bring it towards unity (1)) are used in industry. Capacaitor banks are generally connected to load side, closer to loads. Practically to PCC or MCC locations. Capacitor banks are never connected to Generator sets.

What number is used as a factor in a power?
A base number is used as a factor in a power.
What does in a power the number used as a factor mean?
Numbers with exponents are sometimes referred to as a power. For example, x^4 can be called "x to the fourth power" which means that x is used as a factor four times. So, in a power, the number used as a factor is the base.
What is the number in a power that is used as the factor?
The base

Can you raise power window manually?
You have to disconnect the glass from the regulator or clip the regulator cables.See this post for instructionshttp://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-regulator
What is the purpose of power factor correction?
Power factor correction is a process that has to do with managing the essential traits of electric loads that are used to create a power factor of less than one.
How select the rating of capacitor with respect to KW for improving power factor?
The capacitors must be sized according to the reactive power being used, not the real power being used, to improve power factor.
What is the term for a special kind of high frequency power supply used in computers and monitors?
It is a switching regulator.
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1990 power ram?
The engine computer is the voltage regulator.
What is power regulator?
A power regulator or a voltage regulator generates a fixed output voltage of a preset magnitude that remains constant regardless of changes to its input voltage or load conditions.
What is the number or expression in a power that is used as a factor in repeated multiplication?
Base of a power
