    Power factor is defined as the ratio of true power to apparent power, and can also be expressed as the cosine of the phase angle between the voltage and current. For three phase systems, star and delta connections determine how line and phase voltages and currents are related, and three phase power is calculated as three times the product of line voltage, line current, and power factor.

    Power Factor

    true watts
    p.f. =
    volts x amperes

    also p.f. = cos Φ, where Φ is the angle of lag or lead

    Three Phase Alternators

    Star connected
    Line voltage = 3 x phase voltage
    Line current = phase current

    Delta connected
    Line voltage = phase voltage
    Line current = 3 x phase current

    Three phase power


    P = 3 EL IL cos Φ
    EL = line voltage
    IL = line current
    cos Φ = power factor
