PF and Dissipation Factor Angles

This document discusses power factor testing and the relationship between current components. It states that for perfect insulation, the in-phase current (Ir) would be 0, resulting in a power factor of 0. For a pure out-of-phase current, the phase angle would be 0, giving a power factor of 1.

Ir vector, tan delta = Ir/Ic

Power Factor Testing

For a perfect insulation, it


should be purely capacitive,
thus Ir = 0. Therefore Cos 90 = 0
For a pure Ir, theta should be 0,
and cos 0 = 1
