Conclusions
Electric apparatus have failed and will continue to fail because of
insulation deterioration.
Power factor readings are dependent on various different factors
and it is very important to understand the effect of these factors.
Test voltage, electrostatic interference, temperature, humidity,
surface losses and various other parameters can greatly influence
the PF readings.
A better understanding of the impact of these varying parameters
would help in obtaining accurate PF measurements.
