    Power Factor - explanations of?

    Thankyou moturcu for your response, to clear up my original question.... Why is it that when there exists a phase angle between the volts and amps that the 'useful' power is reduced? What is happening in the part of the cycle when volts and amps are opposing each other, or even when they are...

    Power Factor - explanations of?

    I am currently trying to understand how Power Factor effects the output of a welding transformer. I understand how it is calculated, in terms of difference of phase angle between volts and amps, but how does the voltage affect the output? A transformer relies upon a changing magnetic field on...
