Power Factor â¢ The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real powerto the apparent power, and is a number between 0 and 1. â¢ Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. â¢ Apparent power is the product of the current and voltage of the circuit. â¢ Due to energy stored in the load and returned to the source, or due to a non-linear load that distorts the wave shape of the current drawn from the source, the apparent power can be greater than the real power.
