According to the pic below, where :
Apparent Power (VA) is the vector product addition of Real Power (W) and Reactive Power (VAR)

Apparent power is what you pay for and real power is what is used to do something useful. The energy/power that you cannot use because of low Power Factor is converted into heat losses in the wiring and circuitry

PF = 1. 0 is an ideal situation, where: Apparent Power = Real Power
