his question recently came on from an apprentice named Josh.
Question:
I am stuck on this equation. Please can you help?
Determine the power factor for a 2kw load that draws 15A from a 230 V supply.
Answer:
then W divided by VA 2000 W 3450 VA ie: ( 15A x 230V )
2000 W = 0.57 pf
3450 VA
We hope this helps.
