What is Power Factor
AC power is transmitted with the least losses if the current is undistorted and exactly synchronized with the voltage. Light bulbs and resistance heaters draw current exactly synchronized and proportional to voltage, but most other loads tends to draw current with a time lag (i.e. phase shift) or to distort it (i.e introduce harmonics), it takes more current to deliver a fixed amount of power when the current is phase shifted or distorted. The ratio of the actual power transmitted(real power) to the apparent power that could have been transmitted if the same current where in phase and undistorted is known as the power factor. It is always less than or equal to 1.
Power factor= Real power/Apparent power.
