Power Factor Correction and Harmonics

There are two types of power factor:
- the Displacement Power Factor which is caused by inductance in an electrical load causing the consumed current to lag behind the supply voltage and
- the Harmonic Power Factor which results from non-linear switching of the supply voltage as in the case of rectifiers or power semiconductors.
Therefore the true power factor is a combination of both of these.
