Schedule 82
POWER FACTOR PROVISIONS FOR POWER LOADS
APPLICABILITY:All loads equivalent to 100 horsepower and over shall be subject to these provisions.
PROVISIONS:
If the average power factor of which power is delivered to the purchaser during the billing period is 0.95 or more, no adjustment will be made in the registered kilowatt demand. If such average power factor is less than 0.95, then the registered kilowatt demand shall be adjusted by multiplying by 0.95 and dividing the result by the average power factor. This adjustment may be waived in whole or in part to the extent that the District determines that a power factor of less than 0.95 would in any particular case be advantageous to the District.
Unless specifically otherwise agreed, the District shall not be obligated to deliver power to the purchaser at any time at a power factor below 0.80. The formula for determining average power factor is as follows:
Average Power Factor Equals:
Kilowatt Hours / √ [(Kilowatt Hours)2 + (Reactive Kilovoltamperehours)2]
In applying the above formula, the meter for measurement of reactive kilovoltamperehours will be ratcheted to prevent reverse registration.
