If power factor is increased, current will be reduced for a specific real power (kWs) relative to before.
Total power is real power plus the vector of reactive power (you have to do polar math). So total current = (current from real power) + (current from reactive power). By changing the power factor, you decrease the second quantity.
Go to Wikipedia.com and search for Power Factor if you need a more extensive description.

How do you calculate the powerfactor?
how to calculate the powerfactor in capacitor
What areVolt ohm ampere and watts associated with?
Volts = current (In amps) x Resistance (In ohms) Watts = Volts x Current x PowerFactor Power Factor = 1 in a pure resistive circuit
Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?
An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]
What does a machine increase when it reduces force?
Speed.
Can coldness affect a city's electricity?
Yes, temperature does effect the conductivity of materials. For conductors, an increase in temperature reduces the current carrying capacity and does just the opposite in insulators.
How do you increase current in a battery?
we can increase the current in battery by using current amplifiers or chopper's s the easy way to increase the current in battery........
How do resistors affect a circuit?
It reduces the current. As the current travels through the resitors it has some current that is left in the resistor. And
Do increase of notes receivable increase or decrease cash flow?
Increase in notes receivable reduces the cash flow because if sales are made in cash then cash will immediately increase but if sales are made on credit it means company has not received the cash and that's why it reduces the cash.
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
If the frequency is drop What will happens a step up transformer?
If the frequency drops, then overall impedence reduces and hence the current tend to increase, leading to over heating and ultimately may damage the transformer
What happens if you increase the current in an electomagnet?
As current increases, the electromagnet strength will increase.
What condition reduces the required runway for takeoff?
Increase headwind component.
