Power Factor Calculator
by i square electricals
Power Factor = Real Power ÷ Apparent Power
PF = kW ÷ kVA
PF = kW ÷ kVA
Power Information
Formula:
PF = kW ÷ kVA
Power factor is normally between 0 and 1.
PF = kW ÷ kVA
Power factor is normally between 0 and 1.
Power Factor Assessment
Note:
Power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to
apparent power (kVA).
A power factor close to 1.00 indicates efficient utilization of electrical power.
For AC systems, the actual power factor can be affected by inductive, capacitive and nonlinear loads.
This calculator provides a basic power factor calculation. For electrical installation design, verify the results against applicable electrical standards and equipment manufacturer’s data.
