Power Factor Correction Solutions

A poor power factor due to induction motors, transformers, and other inductive loads can be corrected by connecting suitable capacitors. A poor power factor caused by distorted current waveform is corrected by adding harmonic filters. The process of creating the magnetic field required by an inductive load causes a phase difference between the voltage and […]

How to use static var generator to improve power factor

In practical power systems it is nearly impossible to maintain perfect balance or symmetry between phase currents. The diversity of the load such as single phase, non-linear loads like VSD and UPS, and generally imbalanced three phase loads all increase the amount of imbalance in any given system. Trying to spread load evenly across all […]
