Diagram illustrating the computation of power factor

As a result, the circuit is carrying more current than would be necessary to transport real power alone. When the voltage and current are out of phase, the average product of the two is reduced, and this is shown by a power factor magnitude of less than one. When a device—typically the load—generates actual power, that power flows back toward the source, resulting in a negative power factor.
For the same amount of useable power delivered, a load in an electric power system with a low power factor requires more current than a load with a high power factor. Higher currents result in more energy being wasted through the distribution system and demand
