Zero power factor curve (ZPFC) is a characteristic curve for Synchronous machines. Obtained by measuring the terminal voltage when the current has a zero power factor current. This is obtained by a load with pure inductors that could be regulated to compensate the reactive power of the generator EMF [1].

The ZPFC could be used together with the open-circuit saturation curve in Potier Triangle Method.
