How Power Factor Correction Capacitors Solve the Problem of Low Power Factor.

 How Power Factor Correction Capacitors Solve the Problem of Low Power Factor.

Low power factor is a problem that can be solved by adding power factor correction capacitors to the plant distribution system. Correction capacitors work as reactive current generators “providing” needed reactive power (kvar) into the power supply. By supplying their own source of reactive power, the industrial user frees the utility from having to supply it, therefore, the total amount of apparent power supplied by the utility will be less.


Role of Capacitors







Power factor correction capacitors reduce the total current drawn from the distribution system and subsequently increase system capacity by raising the power factor level.

  1. I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your blog. It seems like some of the written text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Many thanks see it here
