Answer / jainankit784
the defination of power factor is the cosine angle between
voltage and current.
but maximum cosine value is 1 and minimum is -1.
so power factor above 1 is impossible.

Answer / mehul
because power factor is the ratio between the active power
to apparent power.so it is impossible to any load get uses
more than the apparent power.from where he get the more power.

Answer / anupam
power factor is ratio of;
cos(phi)=resistance/impedance,
impedance > resistance, in a given ckt hence,
power factor<=1

power factor is said to be lagging say 0.2 to leading say o.2.Unity means it is not leading or lagging. Now pf is the angular difference between the voltage and amperes. When a voltage is applied across a resistive load the current travels along the voltage that means unity pf. when the voltage is applied across an inductor the current will flow later than the voltage this is said to be lagging pf, but when you apply across a capacitive load the current will flow faster than the voltage which means it is leading. so you will get a pf lag"g from o.o1 to 1 or lead"g o.o1 to 1(unity) So there is NO not more than 1.

Answer / lisman setiawan
POWER FACTOR is not COS PHI !!!
POWER FACTOR = only ratio Real Power(S) and Active Power(P).
COS PHI = only ratio V and I.
S=P+Q
Thats why P impossible greater than S!

Answer / er. ankush miglani 9718151073
powe factor more than unity is possible but if it is so
the ckt becomes a sorce and starts supplying powr to the
mains
it happened coz the current starts leading voltage by an
angle mopre than 90 deg. and stsrts feeding the mains.
so powerv factor cant be more than 1
