Power Conversion FAQs

What’s kVA vs kW?

kVA = apparent power (VA), kW = real power (W). Difference shows reactive power.

Why power factor matters?

Low PF increases current flow and energy waste. US DOE recommends maintaining PF > 0.95.

How improve power factor?

Install capacitors, optimize motor loads, use PF correction equipment.

Typical PF values?

Residential: 0.95-1.0, Industrial: 0.8-0.9, Uncorrected: 0.5-0.7
