Question

The capacitive circuit are used to___________ pf (Power factor)
1. increases
2. decreases
3. stablizer
4. No effect on

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : increases

• The simplest way to improve power factor is to add power factor correction capacitors to the electrical system.
• PF correction capacitors act as reactive current generators. They help offset the non-working power used by inductive loads, thereby improving the power factor.
• A capacitor helps to improve the power factor by relieving the supply line of the reactive power. The capacitor achieves this by storing the magnetic reversal energy.
