Answer / gaurav naik

Hey sorry people if i offend you

but here at my place PF is to be maintained above 0.6

but some of you say that penalty is served if PF is below
0.9???
Is it true?
Please reply?
Generally it not possible to maintain PF nearly equal to
unity!!!
0.7-0.9 is fine i guess

Does Electricity rules differ in Evevry state?

We Maintain nearly 0.75 PF but yet no penalty

there resistance load for lighting load that load is
maintain .95 to 1, inductive load based on induction
motor,incandesent lamp,welding transformer that load is
maintain .8 to .85 then over all power factor is
maintin .85 to .9 with additional load condition is

Answer / thiruvalarselvan

Power factor is ratio of real power to apparant power.In
industries maitain the powerfactor is important one.But not
maintain the powerfactor in unity, Loads varied form time
to time.In industries induction motors and tubelights
mostly used. This are inductive loads,this loads create
lagging powerfactor.So to improve the powerfactor by using
static capacitors,syncronous condensor and phase advanser.
so maintain the pf not below 0.96 lagging to avoid the
penalty in TNEB.
