Abstract :
THE VECTOR power factor is a quantity which has been officially defined in the Standards of the American Standards Association1 and is the basis for many power rates which include lower power factor penalties. The effect of the unbalance in a polyphase load on this quantity can be analyzed by the method of symmetrical components.
