A coil of wire acts as an inductor; it will have a very small resistance, and a relatively large inductance. Power factor is effectively the resistance divided by the impedance (made up of resistance and inductance), so the larger the inductance relative to the resistance, the lower the power factor will be.

What is coil span factor and distribution factor?
coil span or coil pitch is defind as the distance mesured in terms of armature slots(or armature conductors) between two sides of a coil.
Can capacitor increase low voltage to high voltage?
yes a capacitor can improve voltage by improving power factor
Why we want to improve the power factor?
The best way to improve power factor is by adding capacitors. Low power factor is due to reactive loads (motors, pumps, etc.) that are connected to your electrical system.ADDITIONThe best way to improve power factor in the case of motors is to use a motor drive, like a Variable Frequency Drive. These drives allow very precise control over a motor, unlike the very sudden, jerky starting and stopping across the line seen when using a motor starter. They eliminate the huge inrush current required to start motors that causes low PF.Answer:1) Power factor can be calculated by connecting an energy meter [P] (voltage coil in parallel & current coil in series with the load), a voltmeter [V] across load and an ammeter [A] in series with the load. Measure P, V & I.Since, Active Power (P) = V.I.Cosϕpower factor = Cosϕ = P/VI2) Power factor is usually (industrially) improved by connecting a shunt (parallel) capacitor bank at feeding end.How it works??Inductive loads contain both inductors and resistors. But due to phasor difference of coils and caps when voltage is applied across both, the two currents results in a smaller net current finally. So now the angle (ϕ) between the voltage phasor and current phasor is lessened. When ϕ is reduced, Cosϕ is risen resulting in a higher power factor.
What is powerfacter?
The ratio of active power (real power) and apparent power is called power factor ( pf ). Power Factor ( pf ) = Active Power / Apparent Power = .................. ( kvar )
What is a low common factor?
One
What is the reciprocal of the power factor?
impedance/resistance
How to calculate power consumption by induction melting furnace?
simply by measuring the coil voltage, coil current & power factor.
Why you use low power factor wattmeter on primary and unity power factor on secondary side of transformer?
There is no such thing as a 'low power-factor' wattmeter. A wattmeter always reads true power, regardless of the load's power factor.
How is the power factor of an Electrodynamometer type wattmeter improved?
Power Factor of an electrodynamometer can be improved by connecting a large resistor in series with the current coil.
What is low power factor watt meter?
A wattmeter reads the true power of a load, regardless of its power factor.
Does low load in transformer lead to low power factor?
Power factor is determined by the nature (resistive, inductive, capacitive) of a load, not whether it is a low load or a high load.
Why transformer power factor taken unity?
It isn't! A transformer operating at no load has a very low power factor.
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.
Why current lagging in the coil?
The coil consists of inductance. Due to inductance the current lags the voltage. So, the power factor is lagging.
What is the power factor of choke coil?
All one can say without more information is that it is less than 1 and greater than zero.
What is the power factor of a coil?
Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current. In a purely resistive load, like a toaster, since the phase angle is zero, the power factor is 1. In a theoretically purely inductive or capacitive load, with the phase angle at 90 degrees, the power factor is 0. Power factor is also the ratio of apparent power versus true power, or watts versus volt-amperes.
What is Q factor of a coil?
The Q factor of a coil, sometimes called the unloaded Q factor, is the ratio of the energy stored in the coil to the energy dissipated in the resistance of the wire.
