What is considered an “Optimal” Power Factor?
2 years ago
An optimal power factor rating depends on the specific electrical system and the goals of the operator. In general, a power factor rating close to unity (1.0) is considered optimal/Energy Efficient because it indicates that the electrical system is using power efficiently and effectively. Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is […]
