nice to read ur article……..may i know the difference between power factor and Q factor..???

gud day! I JUST WANT TO ASK IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM IN REPLACING FUSES OF POWER FACTOR IF THE CAPACITOR IS NOT DISCHARGE

hello surya…. after looking vector diagram above,, it shows reactive lessen and power factor corrected but the apparent power is still the same… no change..

energy is equal to kw multiply by hour… these we bill by electric cooperative
im confuse pls explain.. ty

Power factor is the phase difference between voltage and current.We require capacitor bank because in capacitor current lead voltage and in inductive load voltage lead current in order to compensate that we reqire capacitor bank which will remove ur reactive power and pf will be improved

Good post Sir,But what is new ?Capacitor banks are mostly used either in industrial loads and at Power system supply side.
Dear Farhan we can reduce bills by power factor correction but for commercial loads the power factor is of not so importance.

Dear Farhan,
when the reactive power is supplied by capacitors the power factor will get improve. this leads to decrease in power consumption too. the power is the rms of reactive and apparent power. so, it causes the reduction in power consumed and the charge you r supposed to pay for the electricity department will get reduced.

Hello Farhan,
did you read this other article, i think it will answer to your question :
5/8 – Electrical equipment: power harmonics, power factor
