What else can I help you with?
Can the capacitor be inserted in series in order to improve the power factor?
In a circut we use capacitor in series for improving power factor
What is the technique of improve the power factor?
Simple technique by adding PP capacitor with automatic power factor controller.
Can capacitor increase low voltage to high voltage?
yes a capacitor can improve voltage by improving power factor
What is characteristic of power factor in capacitor?
Power factor characteristic in a capacitor is a measurement of how efficiently a capacitor uses electrical energy.
What method improve power factor?
The most common method of improving the power factor of a load is to connected a capacitor or capacitor bank, of appropriate reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes), in parallel with the load.
What effect a capacitor has on a supply current on an inductive load?
it will improve the power factor... The angle between voltage and current will decrease depends on capacitor value.
What will be the PF if measured after capacitor bank?
Capacitors are used to improve an inductive load's power factor towards unity. The power factor before and after adding the capacitor bank depends entirely on the inductive/capacitive values involved.
Is the active power supplied to a motor affected by placing of capacitor in parallel with the motor?
No. The capacitor may improve its power factor by altering the effective reactive power of the machine, thus reducing the current drawn from the supply.
How select the rating of capacitor with respect to KW for improving power factor?
The capacitors must be sized according to the reactive power being used, not the real power being used, to improve power factor.
How can improve the power factor?
To increase capacitive load and decrease inductive loadAnswerThe most common method is to add a capacitor, or a capacitor bank, in parallel with the load. In practise, the reactive power of the capacitor (they are not rated in farads, but in reactive volt amperes) must be a little short of being equal to the reactive power of the load, so that the power factor approaches, but does not equal, unity.
What is the function of a capacitor in a fluorescent light fitting?
A capacitor is used to improve the power factor of the lamp.More detailsTo prevent the lamp from taking too much current a fluorescent lamp has to have a choke, which has magnetic inductance. The inductance has a negative impact on the power factor of the (the ratio between apparent power and real power taken by the lamp) - i.e. the power factor is reduced - so a capacitor is used to compensate for the inductance by improving the power factor so that it is closer to the ideal value of 1.Basically the inductor with the capacitor smooths out the voltage or current.
Is a power factor capacitor different from a regular capacitor?
A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.
