Abstract :
In a single-phase or balanced polyphase circuit, the two factors which are contributory to power factors less than unity are wave distortion and phase displacement between current and voltage. In the paper the influence of wave shape is not considered, since in most large modern systems the wave form is nearly sinusoidal. The paper covers balanced and unbalanced polyphase systems without neutral current.
