Question

Difference between Power factor and form factor

Answer 1

Answer:

So let's summarise before it gets to confusing. Power factor tells us about the phase shifts in sinusoidal waveforms and the reactive current when the load includes a magnetic (i.e. inductive) component. RMS is a measure of a waveform, usually AC, which gives a useful value that also indicates the heating effect.
