WHAT IS POWER FACTOR?
A power factor of 0.70 would mean
that only 70% of your power is being used to do Useful Work. Typical uncorrected
power factor is 0.7. This means that a 1000 KW transformer can only supply 700KW
or that a consumer can only draw 70% useful Power. Perfect power factor is 1.0,
(unity); meaning 100% of the power is being used for useful Work.
Generally the cost per KVA is greater
than the cost for KW. Thus the savings would be greater by correcting the power
factor to unity. The reactive power charges levied as penalties in the billing
should always be regulated. The excess reactive currents and associated charges
can be removed by a well-established technology called "Power factor
correction". Simply put, this technology offsets the inductive Reactive
currents by introducing equal and opposite capacitive reactive currents.
Typically this can reduce electricity bills up to 30%, improve voltage and
reduced power losses.
