Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a circuit at your facility. It’s a ratio of the real power (the power that’s actually being used to do work) to the apparent power (the power that’s supplied to the circuit).

In simpler terms, power factor measures how much of the electricity that’s being delivered to a device is actually being used to do useful work. A high power factor means that most of the electricity is being used efficiently, while a low power factor means that some of the electricity is being wasted or used inefficiently.

A low power factor can result in higher energy costs, as more electricity needs to be supplied to a circuit to compensate for the wasted or inefficiently used electricity. Therefore, it’s important to maintain a high power factor to ensure that energy is used efficiently and cost-effectively.
