Abstract
The definition of power factor is extended in a "natural" way to a certain class of bounded periodic nonsinusoidal functions which probably represents all voltage and current waves that can be encountered in practice. It is shown that this generalized definition contains that of the power factor for sinusoidal waves as a special case.
