PF units, or power factor units, refer to a measurement of the efficiency with which electrical power is converted into useful work output. The power factor is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1, representing the ratio of real power (used to perform work) to apparent power (total power in the circuit). A power factor of 1 indicates maximum efficiency, while lower values signify wasted energy, often due to reactive power in inductive or capacitive loads. Understanding and managing power factor is crucial for optimizing energy consumption and reducing electricity costs in industrial and commercial settings.
