The presentation will review the concepts of power factor and discuss the application of power factor correction capacitors. The major benefits of capacitors including reduced power losses, reduced operating costs, increased system capacity, improved voltage and higher motor performance will also be discussed. In addition, a comparison between the different types of capacitors will be given. Information on how to properly size and install capacitors will also be provided.
