We will design a system for you and present a very effective and practical method of improving your power factor. Applying capacitors properly to your system not only improves the power factor but also removes the reactive current from the circuit. This gives additional usable load capacity and improves the efficiency of appliances and motors.
- Some of the benefits a system derives when adding capacitors are:
- Improves power factor of the system which saves money on your power bill.
- Reduces the lagging component of the circuit current which reduces the overall current in the system.
- Reduces I²R power losses in the system because of reduction in the circuit current.
- Reduces I²X kilovar loss in the system because of current reduction.
- Voltage regulation is improved when the capacitors are properly switched.
- Increases voltage level at the load.
- Decreases KVA loading which relieves overloaded conditions and releases capacity for additional load growth.
- Reduces demand KVA loading where power is purchased.
- Reduces investment in the system facilities per kilowatt of load supplied.
