16.7.1. Conventions on powers and power factors
As for the recognition of the type of reactive power, of the type of power factor and of the
direction of the active power, the below conventions must be applied. The stated angles
are those of phase-displacement of the current compared to the voltage (for example, in
the first panel the current is in advance from 0° to 90° compared to the voltage):
Equipment under test = Inductive Generator Equipment under test = Capacitive Load
