Load Factor

 Load Factor

Load factor is define as average power consumption over a period to the peak power consumption over the same period. Load factor is very important in determining the generation of  cost per unit. Higher the load factor , lesser is the generation cost.

Load factor is calculated:

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly 
• Yearly

Load factor must always be less than one. We should never use all the equipment's of our house simultaneously. If one high power equipment is running ,we should not turn on the second equipment, wait and turn on the the other equipment's when the first work is finished.  

This will improve the load factor and giving us the low generating power cost
