If a business near my home has a low power factor of say 0.80 will my utility company also penalize my monthly charges because of the low power factor? Or stated another way, how does a utility company know who on the common distribution line is causing the low power factor?
Please provide answer with supporting calculations. I think only customers with poor power factor have to pay a penalty because each of the loads on a distribution line are in parallel and the data collected at each meter is unique to each load. Correct?
