what is meant by power factor ?..

Answer / gautham

power factor is the Cosine of Angle between the Applied
VOltage and current. It directly depends on the Load. If
the load is Inductive then the PF is LAGGING.If the load is
resistive the PF is leading.Power Factor takes value from 0
to 1. Unity Power Factor is the Idealised condition, means
least power dissipated and high effeciency.

It can also be calculated from R/Z and KW/KVA ratings.

what is meant by power factor ?..

Answer / sree

ration of power utilised and power suppied

Is This Answer Correct ?    18 Yes 11 No

what is meant by power factor ?..

Answer / satish m

It is the ratio of the resistance to impedance.

PF= R/Z.
OR
It is cosine of phase angle between voltage & current.

It can be improved by connecting the capacitors in parallel
to the supply.

Answer / srinivasan

power factor=real power\apparent power

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 0 No

what is meant by power factor ?..

Answer / saravanan.n

the power factor of acircuit may be defined as:

(1)the ratio resistance and impedance = r/z

(2)the ratio = watts/voltampers=trepower/apparent
power=V x I x cosQ /V X I

(3)the cosine of the angle of lead or lag current from the
applied voltage

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
