How does the Power Factor Calculator work?

Real power (P) in watts Then: Apparent power (S) in VA (volts × amps) Then: Power factor = P ÷ S Then: Cosine of phase angle between voltage and current.

Can you give an example of how to use the Power Factor Calculator?

Example: Input P=1000W, S=1200VA gives a result of PF=0.833.

Is the Power Factor Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
