power consumption Definition. The rate at which power is consumed by a device or unit (such as a building), usually expressed in kilowatt-hours, Btu/hour, or horsepower-hours.
The power factor is the ratio of real power used to do work to the apparent power supplied to the system or circuit. Power factors receive values between 0 and 1. When no real power is present, the power factor is 0. When all power is real and none is reactive, the power factor is 1. If a utility companyâs power factor is less than 1, it must supply more current to the system or user to optimize output. A large power factor is desired, while a low power factor is the result of inefficient electrical power measurements. Real or working power refers to the work-producing power used to run the system or equipment.
