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 / sumedh chaccravorty

The units consumed will NOT change but the company might( most probably will) impose punishments for operating at lower PF as it increases the transmission losses and increases the KVA rating of the associated devices.
