Now that was a pretty fair - and accurate - description of power factor and
its ramifications.

It was...but didn't answer the question about the difference between

It's the difference with some electric motors have carbon brushes and some which
use inductive electric motors.

The "Electric Motor" part of the table is motors without carbon brushes
(Inductive motors).

The "Power Tools" part of the table is for electric motors with carbon brushes
fitted (Reactive motors).
