PQ CORNERP ower Factor Correction andHarmonic resonance : A Volatile MixCapacitors may be meant to correct problems,but they can also introduce them if incorrectly specifiedBy Daniel J. Carnovale, , Eaton/Cutler-Hammer16 EC&M June 2003 Industrial and commercial cus-tomers constantly scrutinize theirmonthly electrical usage, lookingfor ways to save money. Installingpower Factor Correction capacitorscan reduce costly penalties im-posed by the utility and help pay for thecapacitors in a relatively short amount oftime. The payback period can be as shortas four to six months for capacitors in-stalled on Power systems in locations likehospitals and paper , you can t indiscriminatelyadd Power Factor Correction capacitors toa system without understanding howtheir presence will affect the system.
