Disadvantages of Low power Factor:
- Large KVA rating of equipment:
KVA= KW / cosθ
If equipment has low power factor then KVA rating of the equipment greater making the equipment larger and expensive
- Greater conductor size.
- Larger copper losses, grater the KVA rating, greater the current, due to large current copper losses also increases
- Poor voltage regulation.
- High energy bill:
Energy bill = KVA demand charges + energy charges
