Sir , i have a problem in maintaining the pf in my company . my total load is 23 hp , i have added 20 kvar capacitor of 8,12. Last month my pf was .610 , after adding there is minimal improvement in a day if i run my company it increases by 3 and by night it falls 5 points . helpme i paid a penalty of 18000 last bimonthly bill.40 days since adding capacitor now my reading stands . 704
Nicely explained. I have a doubt which is related to power factor when two generator are running in parallel suddenly found both gen current is showing different but kw is same, please explain what is the reason and how it can be rectified
hi , can you define what is reactive power ? i can understand that the power which we consume or utilize is real power of course we pay electricity bill for real power (kwh) .
Have reason to believe the power company uses a power factor of 80% when selecting the SIZE of the step down transformer to serve your and your neighbors house. Obviously they can not measure each and every residents, so this is a compromise. Also factored (ha ha) into the bill that you are charged.
