Power factor: With alternating current, the recorded (or apparent) power (kVA) of an inductive load is greater than the active power (kW) used in the calculation.Cos phi = active power/apparent effect.Examples:A. Resistive loads such as filament lamps and heating elements: cos phi = 1B. Inductive loads:Electric hand-operated tools: cos phi ~ 0,97Electric motor: cos phi = 0.7 — 0.8Fluorescent lamps, welding transformers: cos phi ~ 0,5

The current European standard claims that all manufacturers = 2 kW must not exceed LWA95. LWA95 is equivalent to 70 dB (A) at a distance of 7 metres. We can say that dB (A) of 7 meters = LWA — 25. dB (A) of 4 m = LWA — 20 dB (A) of 0 m = LWA — 0 = LWA The sound level is dependent on the type of engine (petrol or diesel), the number of revolutions, and [...]
