POWERFACTOR CORRECTION (pfc)
POWER FACTORCORRECTION22 IEE Wiring Matters |Spring 2006 | FACTOR is the ratio between the useful (true)power (kW) to the total (apparent) power (kVA)consumed by an item of electrical equipment or acomplete electrical installation. It is a measure of howefficiently electrical power is converted into usefulwork output. The ideal power factor is unity, or less than one means that extra power isrequired to achieve the actual task at current flow causes losses both in the supplyand distribution system. A load with a power factor results in the most efficient loading of the load with a power factor of, say, , results in muchhigher losses in the supply system and a higher billfor the consumer.
the process of compensating for the lagging current by creating a leading current by connecting capacitors to the supply. A sufficient capacitance is ... Reduction of voltage drop in long cables. Extended equipment life – Reduced electrical burden on cables and electrical components.
