You cannot use a capacitor as a 'power saver' or, more accurately, 'energy saver'! A capacitor may improve the power-factor of a load, and this may reduce the value of its load current, but this does not reduce the energy consumed by the load. For a residence, a so-called 'power save' capacitor is nothing more than a rip-off.

Why you use capacitors in power supply?
You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.
How to connect 3 phase power factor correction capacitor?
how to connect power capacitor with 3 phase motor
How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?
Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.
How do you determine if the capacitor is defective?
To determine if a capacitor is defective, use an Ohmmeter of a Multimeter.
What is the use of harmonic filter in capacitor bank?
harmonic filter capacitor is used to filterize the unwanted heat created by a certain component like power supply. harmonics are voltage or currents that operates a certain frequency. john
How can a capacitor works as a power saver?
A capacitor does not and cannot work as a 'power saver' or, more-accurately, 'energy saver'.However, a capacitor can be used to reduce the power factor of a load. Reducing power factor, though, has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the amount of energy consumed by that load and will not reduce the energy bill for a residential consumer such as you or me.What reducing power factor does is to reduce the load current which, in turn, will reduce the amount of copper that must be provided by the utility company, in terms of its cables and transformers. So power factor 'improvement' can save the utility company money, by allowing it to use smaller cables and transformers to supply any given load.
Can a capacitor serves as energy saver device?
no, not really
Why you use capacitors in power supply?
You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.
What power mode do you use to conserve power consumption on a laptop?
power saver
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
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.
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.
Why you use capacitor as a filter in power supply?
capacitor acts as a small battery ,during rectification ac to dc it gets some blank space (no current) to fill this current from capacitor is used.
How capacitor works with ac supply?
Ti controls the capacity of power our machines use
If picofarad capacitor is replaced with microfarad capacitor then what will happend?
The unit of capacitor is farad. 1 farad =10 to the power of 6 microfarad and also = 10 to the power of 12 picofarad Therfore if you are replacing one picofarad capcitor into one microfarad capacitor you are increasing the capcitance to 1000000 times. If it is in an oscillator circuit you are changing the frequency drastically which will be of no use.
