Customer ServiceThere are various different systems for producing reactive energy, including in particular asynchronous compensators and shunt capacitors (or serial capacitors for large transmission systems). The capacitor is most frequently used, given: Power factor is the ratio of working power to apparent power.
Customer ServiceCapacitor banks provide reactive power compensation by introducing capacitive reactive power into the system, which is especially useful for counteracting the inductive reactive power typically drawn by motors and transformers. Capacitors store electrical energy in the electric field created between their plates when a voltage is applied.
Customer ServiceWe define the reactive power to be positive when it is absorbed (as in a lagging power factor circuit).. a. Pure capacitance element – For a pure capacitance element, P=0 and I leads V by 90° so that complex power is:. S = jQ = (V ∠0°) (I ∠90°) S = V×I ∠−90° S = −jV×I. Thus the capacitance element generates reactive power.

Customer ServiceA capacitor helps to improve the power factor by relieving the supply line of the reactive power. The capacitor achieves this by storing the magnetic reversal energy. Figure 8. Improvement in power factor when the capacitor is added to the circuit. Figure 7 shows an inductive load with a power factor correction capacitor.
We use capacitors to supply the reactive power to the inductive receivers and to raise the displacement power factor (Cos ϕ). Summary When an energy supplier supplies reactive power, it overloads the lines and transformers.
The impedance for a circuit with a power factor compensation capacitor is given by Equation 5, where XC is capacitive reactance and is given by Equation 6. In most industries, a system of capacitors controlled by a power factor correction controller is installed for reactive power compensation.
By neutralizing the magnetic current, capacitors help to cut losses in the electrical distribution system and reduce electricity bills. A poor power factor due to induction motors, transformers, and other inductive loads can be corrected by connecting suitable capacitors.
The capacitor is a receiver composed of two conductive parts (electrodes) separated by an insulator. When this receiver is subjected to a sinusoidal voltage, the current and therefore its power (capacitive reactive) is leading the voltage by 90°.
This aids in maintaining the voltage level in the system. The high inductive component of the starting current is reduced by the addition of capacitance during the starting period only. In this, it differs from applying capacitors for power factor correction.
