actually, the power factor means how much energy you get from what you entered, so that's what it's very important and vital at least economically.

for the noise you ask about: always remember that any change in any machine would bring up unstable condition, I mean in loading or unloading the machine passes through unstable moment so the machine trying to step out of this it will used more (or less) effort to come back to be stable once again.

Hi. Instead of driving aimlessly looking for the cheapest gas, people can open the Gasbuddy app and instantly see a list of nearby gas stations and their prices. You can also sign up for a Gasbuddy credit card and save extra. You can read more about how this can be done on the company’s website, and if you have any questions, you don’t need to look for a gasbuddy phone number in the application itself you can contact a company representative, and he will provide excellent advice on all issues.

The Active power used by a machine is given by V * I *power factor. When the pf is low the machine will take more current at constant voltage as compared to good pf. In power plants we transmit power at high pf as possible as unity. When we transmit power at lower pf we have to transmit high current through the transmission line, it's lead to more losses in power system. It is uneconomical to the system.So we use pf meter in power plants.
