Absolutely not, if you are a residential consumer. Capacitors, when used for power-factor correction, reduce the supply current but NOT the amount of energy consumed and you pay for energy, NOT current! Energy meters measure the supply voltage and the in-phase (resistive) component of the supply current, so power-factor correction is irrelevant to residential metering. The video referred to in the original answer shows current being reduced but, as explained, this has absolutely no relevance to your electricity bill. In fact, the video is complete and utter nonsense! Capacitors used in this way are a complete scam.
Power-factor correct ONLY applies to large commercial and industrial consumers because they are penalised for unnecessarily-low power factors because the resulting unnecessarily-high currents require the utility companies to install larger Transformers, switchgear, and cables.
Another Answer
Yes, if you are a big customer and you are paying a premium on your power charges through having a poor power factor on the site. Otherwise a capacitor does not reduce the kWh consumption of your appliances, but it might reduce the current you draw, but your meter measures energy used and not the current. For a domestic customer power factor correction will almost certainly notreduce your charges.

Reduce the harmonic current in the electrical supply system.
---- Capacitor banks used to improve power factor(lagging) of a circuit:: This is necessary since it causes saving in power and electricity bill in following ways: 1) As p.f rises, circuit currnt decreases and hence I2R losses reduce 2) Var consumption reduces There is no tool provided here to draw the ckt diagram:: U take on PFC(power factor correction bus), then connect switch fuse, then HRC fuse, then Contactor, then overload relay and finally the capacitor bank
A capacitor will store electricity temporarily.

No, a generator capacitor failing will not stop electricity production entirely, but it may result in fluctuations in voltage output or cause the generator to stop functioning properly. It's advisable to have the capacitor replaced to ensure the generator operates efficiently.

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.
