Power Factor Using Voltage

The power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit.

The power factor equals the ratio of the electric real power to the product of the electric current and voltage.

Formula

QuantityVariable["PF", "Unitless"] == QuantityVariable["P", "ElectricPower"]/(QuantityVariable["I", "ElectricCurrent"]*QuantityVariable["V", "ElectricPotential"])

symbol description physical quantity
PF power factor "Unitless"
I electric current "ElectricCurrent"
P electric real power "ElectricPower"
V voltage "ElectricPotential"
