Knowledge Bridge: Power Failure + Emergency Generator Set (Module: Power Factor)

This document provides information about a knowledge bridge event on power factor occurring from July 16-17, 2014 in Kuala Lumpur. It discusses low power factor, causes of low power factor including inductive loads, and consequences of low power factor such as increased current intensity, higher voltage drop, larger cutting arc, and lower transformer efficiency. It also addresses common questions about power factor penalties and provides examples of how improving power factor through the use of capacitors can lower electricity bills.
