rattus said:It is the other way around. In an ideal transformer, the PF seen on the secondary will be seen on the primary as well because the secondary load is reflected back to the primary. Therefore, the lag seen in the primary will be the same as seen in the secondary.

rattus said:True Laszlo, but note the assumption of an ideal transformer.
