Hello,
I am curious to know what the typical load power factors have been estimated for urban loads (commercial buildings and some residential towers). Reason why I ask is I've seen a number of urban substations that do not have power factor correction installed at the substation or inside transformer vaults, so it is safe to presume the full load power factors are generally high in urban environments (0.9 and above maybe)? Speaking generally of loads in the USA in larger cities which have air conditioning.
Thanks.
