Question

What is the power factor formula?

Answer 1

An inefficient power factor will increase a client's utility bill because the power factor will cause the kVA demand to be higher than the kW demand. Also, Power factors less than 90% (ratio of kW/kVA) within some utilities will cause an additional increase in the demand cost.Oct 21, 2019

Power factor (PF) is the ratio of working power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power, measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA). Apparent power, also known as demand, is the measure of the amount of power used to run machinery and equipment during a certain period. It is found by multiplying (kVA = V x A).
