Abstract
This paper discusses the power factor of transmission and distribution lines for selected power utility substations.
The choice of selection of lines was based on the nature of the load and the status of the loading.
The data collected
and analyzed revealed that some feeder lines at most of substations are distributing active power at low PF below the
grid threshold limit.
Feeder lines mainly supplying domestic loads have their PF generally low and on the other hand,
it was found that feeder lines supplying industr
