Value of power factor is varies from 0 to 1. R→PF = 1 L→PF = 0 lag C→PF = 0 lead R-L→0 lag < PF < 1 R-C→0 lead < PF < 1 R-C-L→depends on value of R, L and C. PF = R/Z
In this type of tariff, The total charge is divided into two components: fixed charges and running charges. The fixed charges depend upon the number of units consumed by the consumer. It can be expressed as Total Cost = [A (kW) + B (kWh)] Rs. A = charge per kW of max demand (A is a constant which when multiplied with max demand (kW) gives the total fixed costs.) B = charge per kWh of energy consumed (B is a constant which when multiplied with units consumed (kWh), gives total running charges.)
