Not necessarily. If a load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but its energy consumption will be no different from it having a high power factor.

Does a increase in current result in increase in electrical consumption?
As you are billed on the consumption of wattage and wattage is the product of amp times volts the answer to your question is yes. An increase in current will result in an increase in electrical consumption.Additional AnswerResidential consumers are billed on their energyconsumption (there is no such thing as 'electrical consumption' as 'electricity' is not a measurable quantity!), expressed in kilowatt hours.There may be several reasons for an increase in load current. For example, if the residential load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but the energy consumed will be no different from if the load had a high power factor.So, for residential loads, an increase in load current doesn't necessarily mean a higher energy consumption.
What is dynamic current?
it is a flow of charge practically from negative to positive terminal
What is reduction in electric consumption?
It is the reduction of using electrical devices. Each device is rated in watts. Cutting back on the use of these devices will reduce the watt consumption that is metered at the utility meter. The reduction of electrical wattage consumption will result in a savings of money to you.
What type of burns are the result of current flowing through and exiting the body?
electrical burns
Expectations for the future tend to discourage current consumption?
Th expectations for the future that tend to discourage current consumption are as a result of high uncertainty. This is considered to be a major source of inflation.
What type of ocean current moves into an area with the result of an increase in the humidity and temperature?
Cold current
What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.
What is the result of Aluminum doping on zinc oxide thin films?
Increase electrical conductivity
What effect if load increase in electrical system?
when load on the electric system increase frequency of the system will decrease resulting in higher intake at powergenerators. If higher intake is not net by powergeneration stations entire power system will collapse. It is called grid failure.Another AnswerAn increase in load will result in an increase in load current.
Is electricity related to fire?
Yes. Electrical current that is not properly controlled can result in a fire.
What types of burns are the result of current flowing through and exiting the body?
electrical burns
What type of burns are a result of current flowing through and exiting a body?
