Description:

The methodology of measurement of cos was developed long time ago, but it is usable only for sinusoidal voltages and currents. Nowadays the customer loads use power supplies built with semiconductors, switching power supplies, power controlling systems, etc. These loads cause non-sinusoidal current in power lines, energy quality and EMC problems. The method of Power Factor measurement is described in this article, which is a good KPI in these cases.
