if this is high or low? If anyone know please please send
the answer on my email id ( kumarkirshan@in.com )

Answer Posted / gul mohammed ibrahim

power factor is defined as the ratio of real power to the apparent power.
real power is the power which is converted in to active energy
Reactive power is the power which is Derive by motor (inductive load) to generate and maintain flux
apparent power is the vector sum of real power &Apparent power
To Improve Power factor We can Connect A capacitor parellel to the load
