Power Factor for AC Pumps

[mrhasan]

I am not reading online since I am getting infos from electrical engineers. I have, out of curiosity, confirmed with another colleague of mine just now and is also saying that you get billed for the amount of voltage and current you are drawing out from the outlet; NOT how much your device is consuming. There's no such utility meter that can determine which device is consuming what. With the difference in calculation, he came to some conclusion:

1. The motor is really horrible
2. The readings are not taken from the correct point

I am not with number 2 because the DC pump is right on target regarding the readings; so I stick with the motor is horrible
