    Dear all relatted to Power!

                           How to calculate reactive power factor  ?

    P = kW, Q = kVAr (inductive (+Q), capacitive (-Q), S = kVA.

    S = (P^2 + Q^2)^-2

    kW / kVA = cos (x), cos (x)^1 = power factor

    Mistake there,

    Power factor = cos (x)^-1

    I made a mistake at the end, it should be cos (x)^-1 not cos (x)^1, kW / kVA = cos (x), cos (x)^-1 = power factor.
