What power factor maintain you maintain at u r organisation..

Answer / william lobo

Well so many answers to this simple question. The real
answer as per my experience is 0.85 to 0.9. The minimum
requirement by the Electricity boards is 0.8 to 0.85 or
they will charge a fine. But for industry 0.85 to 0.9 is
optimum and above this you will have to use large capacity
of Capacitor banks which is not practical. Also if
capacitors are too many than this will give leading PF and
this is not good since this leads to higher voltage and
many times has resulted in motor burning or failures, and
permature failure of electical equipment.

We have one Energy meter for Measuring the voltage,current,power,energy(KWH,KVARH,KVAH) & power factor.The problem is that the meter does not show whether the PF is lagging or leading.So i want to know that is there any way or calculation to find out that whether the PF sign (lagging or leading) depending upon the above mentioned parameters?
