what is power factor good or bad ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a circuit.

A power factor of 1 indicates that all the power is being used effectively.
A power factor less than 1 indicates that there is reactive power in the circuit, which can lead to inefficiency.
A power factor greater than 1 is not possible in an AC circuit.
Improving power factor can reduce energy costs and improve system performance.

Accepted Answer

the ideal power factor is unity or one. anything less the one mean extra power required to achieve . all current flow in cause losses both in the supply and distribution system.
