Answer / kavitha.s
it is ratio of active power to apparent power is called
power factor. it is expressed as PF= KW/KVA

Answer / bhupendra
Power factor is cosine of angle b/w voltage & current.
Mathematically
Cosφ=Power/Voltage*Current)
Cosφ=R/Z
where R= Resistance
Z= Impedance

Answer / shaikh aijaz
it is the cosine angle between voltage and current,
and from impedance trangle it is the ratio between
rasistance and impedance,
cos0=r/z
it is also define as the ratio between active power and
apparent power.cos0=kw/kva

Answer / amit rajak
power factor is the cosine angle between voltage and current
which balances both these electrical quantities.It is
ideally considered as 0.8 for electrical equipments for its
maximum efficiency.if it is not properly regulated than
there may be rise of any one of the above parameters which
will definitely effect the efficiency
it can be properly regulated by using capacitors in
domestic installation systems

when we r using 3.5 cable for a bldg. and put laod on each phase using the neutral and neutral is the return paht for the phase so the current of the neutral must be Ir+Ib+iY (return).But the size of the netural is .5 as comper to the phase.
if we supply DC power to AC transformer then what its result?
What are the advantages of individual drives?
1 Answers A1 Electricals, Suzlon,
i have total 8 dg sets for synchronizing and 2 buscoupler,1 sectoin dg no 1,2,3,and 2 sectoin dg no 4,5,6,and last section dg no 7,8 ....if buscupler no 1 and 2 is off mode ..than dg no 1,2,3,will synchroniz of another dg sets?
Classical power system stability was mainly focussed on rotor angle stability but modern power system stability has more focus on voltage stability.Why?
is it possible to say motor horsepower number without seeing name plate(when name plate damaged)
if voltage is not builed up in small generator what will be the reason?
we are using three transformer 33000/430 vac for three separet block.all three transformer have three LT panel separetly. can be Interconnected all three panel through bus coupler. this is permissable or not by state electricity board.
sir, i'm preparing for hpcl exam officer trainee pls tell me how the exam ques paper pls pls
