Proposed translations
cos 0.7 to 1 inductive
When dealing with high-powered equipment, not only is the aboslute power consumption critical, but also what we call the 'phase angle' of it; if you want a technical explanation, e-mail me! So I reckon that's where the cos... bit comes in [angles and things...]
as for inductive --- a load that has a phase angle may be either inductive or capacitive, though with motors and things, inductive is of course much more common!
So there you are, that's what I reckon it is
Cos 0,7 to 1 self-inductive.

: 'self-inductive' doesn't really have any meaning when discussing a power-factor, which is usually described as either 'inductive' or 'capacitive'
