what is the effect of power factor in electrical circuit ?
if we mainten power factor near about unity (0.999) our
energy consumption Units increase or decrease?

Answer Posted / chandra sekhar

if power factor lagging then losses will increase, then more
units will consumption.pf should not in leading position.so
to reduce that losses we ll maintain pf close to unity....if
pf is 1 then we ll get kva=kw....reading...THEN UNITS WILL
GET REDUCE,....
