Yep, power factor matches phase of current and voltage. Any time they are
NOT in
phase you are drawing extra power. That power must be spent as something,
and
unless it's an RF circuit that something will be heat. The coolest point
will be
when the voltage and current are in phase. Well, at least if they
designed it
for correct power factor....

Larry, when the cap on my JD died, I replaced the 4 uf with a 5uf, the
transformer ran HOT. Can you tell me the theory as to why.
