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

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
