4. Energy Management What is Power Factor?
PF – Power factor is the term used to describe how efficiently a facility utilizes all of the electrical power it consumes.
KW- is working power (also called Actual power or Active Power), the power used for inductive loads, such as compressor motors, computer power supplies and lighting ballasts.
KVAR- is reactive power, which is power that creates the magnetic field for inductive loads. All inductive loads require magnetic current to operate.
KVA- is apparent power, which is the combination of both KW (working power) and KVAR (magnetizing current).

Power Factor Correction Example:
Consider a barge being pulled by a horse:
Since the horse cannot walk on water, its pulling effort is reduced by the angle of the tow rope. If the horse could walk on water, then the horse power is being used to pull the load. However, the relative position of the horse influences the power. As the horse gets closer to the barge, the angle increases and power is wasted but as the horse is positioned further away, the angle gets closer and less power is wasted. So, by improving the power factor (reducing the angle), the reactive component is reduced.

7. Why Should I Improve My Power Factor? Lower utility fees by:
Energy Management
Why Should I Improve My Power Factor?
Lower utility fees by:
a:) Reducing peak KW billing demand.
Recall that inductive loads, which require reactive power caused your low power factor. This increase in required reactive power (KVAR) causes an increase in required apparent power (KVA), which is what the utility is supplying. So, a facility's low power factor causes the utility to have to increase its generation and transmission capacity in order to handle this extra demand.

b:) Eliminating the power factor penalty.
Utilities usually charge customers an additional fee when their power
factor is less than (In fact, some utilities are not obligated to deliver electricity to their customer at any time the customer's power factor falls below 0.85.)
Thus, you can avoid this additional fee by increasing your
power factor.
