Power factor is a measurement of how efficiently electrical energy is being consumed. It is measured on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00, and it represents the decimal percentage of the efficiency of the load. Therefore, a device with a power factor of 1.00 is a 100% efficient load (incandescent light bulb). A device with a power factor of 0.85 is an 85% efficient load (electric motor).
