Power-factor-correction capacitors are used for this purpose. A motor requires inductive or lagging reactive power for magnetizing. Capacitors provide capacitive or leading reactive power that cancels out the lagging reactive power when used for power-factor improvement.


 

THIS IS PFIC PANEL OFR POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT, THE CAPACITORS ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL

POWER SERVING PANNEL CONSISTING CAPACITORS, CONTACTORS AND BREAKERS OFTEN TIMES THIS PANNEL IS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM WHERE THERE ARE SO MANY INDUCTIVE LOADS TO AVOID LOW POWER FACTOR , THAT CAPPACITOR BANK AM URE IT S NOT YET BEEN INTALLED HOWEVER, A CAPACITOR BANK IS ALWAYS INSTALLED IN PARALLEL WITH LOAD HAVING LOWER POWER FACTOR. IN SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION, WE GET THREE PHASES FROM THE MAIN BREAKER OF THE CAPACITOR BANK AND CONNECT THEM EITHER TO THE LOAD SIDE OR SUPPLY SIDE OF OUR SYSTEM. BUT BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS CAPACITOR BANK , IT IS VITAL TO CONSIDER THE SIZE OF THE BANK TO BE INSTALLED,CAPACITOR BANK THIS IS USE WEN POWER FACTOR OF AN AC CIRCUIT IS LESS DAN 90% OR 9.0 FOR POWER IMPROVEMENT/ CORRECTION, POWER FACTOR MAINNTENANE ,
