Power factor (PF) = Real power ÷ Apparent power

  • Real power is power that is used to perform work. This power is consumed and is measured in watts (W).
  • Reactive power is power that is power that does not perform work but is still present in a circuit. This power returns to the source and is measured in volt-amperes or volt-amps (VA).
  • Apparent power is the total power present in a circuit. Apparent power is the sum of real power and reactive power. Measured in volt-amperes or volt-amps (VA).
