POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
1. STATIC CAPACITOR:
Connected in parallel to the load
at low p.f.
Capacitor draws leading current
of 90° from supply.
Compensates the lagging reactive
components of load current.
For higher capacitor ratings we
use capacitor banks.
For 3-phase system, capacitors
can be connected in star
(industrial and commercial loads)
and delta (distribution system).
EXAMPLE
Simple AC exciter.
