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.
Power Factor is simply the measure of the efficiency of the power being used, so, a power factor of 1 would mean 100% of the supply is being used efficiently. A power factor of 0.5 means the use of the power is very inefficient or wasteful. So what causes Power Factor to change? In the real world of industry and commerce, a power factor of 1 is not obtainable because equipment such as electric motors, welding sets, fluorescent and high bay lighting create what is called an âinductive loadâ which in turn causes the amps in the supply to lag the volts.
