Power Factor (PF) is the ratio of working power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power, measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA). Apparent power, also known as demand, measures the amount of power used to run machinery and equipment during a certain period.

Power factor, simply put, is the ratio of working power to apparent power, or demand power. Power factor is an expression of energy efficiency, with a higher percentage indicating more efficient power usage and a lower percentage indicating less efficient power usage.
Duty cycle, sometimes called "duty factor," is expressed as a percentage of ON time. A 60% duty cycle is a signal that is ON 60% of the time and OFF the other 40%. Many loads are rapidly cycled on and off by a fast-acting electronic switch which accurately controls the output power of the load .
Troubleshooting power quality issues will help your facility save money by optimizing energy use and protect equipment from future damage. The first step to evaluating power quality is to capture data from equipment, infrastructure, and the service panel.
Single-phase power is a two-wire alternating current (ac) power circuit. Typically, there is one power wire—the phase wire—and one neutral wire, with current flowing between the power wire (through the load) and the neutral wire. Three-phase power is a three-wire ac power circuit with each phase ac signal 120 electrical degrees apart.
Power factor is the ratio of working power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power, measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA). The PQ Indicator is a background function which appears automatically when a power related issue is identified.
Taking measurements with Fluke power loggers or power quality analyzers and meters can help you identify the sources of poor power quality and energy waste which can your facility save money and protect your equipment from future damage.
