Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

In power factor testing practice the instrument measures both the magnitude and the phase angle of the current drawn by the insulation under the applied voltage and resolves that current into real and quadrature components. The real component represents the dielectric losses, which relate to contamination or deterioration of the dielectric.
