RE: What?

I believe that PF is always <1 because it is the COS of the angle of displacement between voltage and current. That will ALWAYS be <1, and I don't think we need to apply Absolute Value to make it so.
Can there be a PF >1 or a negative number? I know at a displacement of 90' NO power is delivered and at 91', you are back to essentially 1' of displacement.

OH! I'm sure I could get a better PF measure if I had the right instruments. I don't even have a true RMS DVM or a scope. I might have an ancient Simpson Senior Voltohmist out in the garage in storage, but haven't used it in a long time.
