Yes. Power factor is never greater than one, nor less than negative one. It is the cosine of the phase angle, and is the ratio of true versus apparent power.
A negative power factor can occur in the case of a generator.

Transformers are rated in what?
Transformers are rated in KVA. (this is because the transformer is Unity power factor device i.e.. PF = 1)AnswerThe selection of a transformer is determined by the apparent power of the load, expressed in volt amperes(V.A), the load current, and the line voltage of the supply. The transformer must be able to satisfy these requirements.Transformers are not 'unity power factor' devices, which is precisely why their capacity is expressed in volt amperes, rather than in watts.
Can the greatest common factor of 8 and 32 be greater than 8?
No.
Is the Greatest common factor a pair of numbers ever greater than both nbrrs?
No, it's never greater than the smallest number.
Can power factor be more than one?
No. In the simple case of a linear circuit, the power factor is the cosine of an angle, and that can't be more than 1.
What is the highest power of each prime factor of 27 and 45?
33 = 27 32 x 5 = 45 Three cubed is greater than three squared and 5 is greater than no 5 at all. 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 135, the LCM
What is the effect of power factor greater than unity on energy bill?
Power factor cannot exceed unity!
What does unity power factor UPF mean?
Unity power factor has a value of 1.0. This means the current and voltage waveforms are in phase. This is only possible if the net load is non-reactive (resistive). If the load is either capacitively or inductively reactive, the power factor will be other than unity. If an inductively reactive load such as a motor is offset by a capacitively reactive load such as a PF correction capacitor, it is possible to acheive a net load that has unity power factor. Some loads, such as resistance heaters, are intrinsically non-reactive, and present a unity power factor.
Can power factor greater than 1?
not possible. power factor is an cosine angle between current and voltage...
When 1 factor is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 and the second factor is a power of 10?
What is the question for this situation
What is an odd factor of 14 greater than 1?
7 is an odd factor of 14 greater than 1
What is the even number that is greater than 3 and is a factor of 20?
4 is greater than 3 and is a factor of 20.
What is a number greater than 10 and a factor of 30?
15 is a number greater than 10 and a factor of 30.
How you improve power factor in synchronous motor?
Power Factor measures the difference in phase between the current and voltage. When they are in phase the Power Factor is defined as 1. When out of phase the value is less than 1. If they are 180 degrees out of phase the Power Factor will be zero.
Can a unit vector have any components with magnitude greater than unity?
No, by definiton, a unit vector is a vector with a magnitude equal to unity.
Can the greatest common factor of 18 and 36 be greater then 18explain?
No. No number can have a factor greater than itself.
Sorry What does the algebraic symbol less than greater than mean in an equation?
It means that one factor is greater than (>) or less than (<) some other factor.
When one factor in multiplication is greater than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?
The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
