Power-factor improvement capacitors are connected in parallel with the load, and are rated in reactive volt amperes. If their reactive volt amperes are identical with the reactive volt amperes of the reactive component of the load, then they act to cancel each other, and bring the phase angle to zero (i.e. the load current becomes in phase with the supply voltage). This reduces the value of the load current without affecting the operation of the load, and allows cables and switchgear with lower current ratings to be used than would otherwise be necessary.
What else can I help you with?
A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
How many capacitors are use in a circuit?
Capacitors store charge. There are many applications for their use. There is no set amount of capacitors in a circuit since it is application dependent.
What are values of capacitors?
Capacitors come in many different shapes, sizes & technologies. However, they all use the same unit of value; the farad. Capacitors will be measured in picofarad (pF), nanofarad (nF), microfarad (uF), farad (F), and megafarad (MF). Do note, however, that MF has not been used since the days of mechanical transistors and other less developed electronic components. Capacitors will also have a voltage rating; this is called the Breakdown Voltage, and it is at this voltage that the dielectric will completely breakdown, usually with catastrophic consequences.
What is the use of capacitors in fire alarm circuit?
Fire alarm system may be having some electronic devices and cards, in which some capacitors are used. Capacitors are part of any electronic cards.
Is it advisable to correct the power factor to unity?
power factor depends on the load being fed if the load is entirely resistive power factor will be unity ..if the load includes an inductor or capacitpr due to phase displacement between v and i the pf will be lag or lead respectievly

What radios have 365 pf tuning capacitors?
AM broadcast - 535~1605 kHz tuning range. The 365 pF cap is most likely in the aerial circuit, as most modern receivers would use a smaller-value section for local oscillator tuning. Alternately, a set may use the *same* value for aerial and local oscillator, with a padding capacitor to reduce the effective max value of the oscillator section.
What the correct spelling pf grand daughter?
Granddaughter is one word, with no hyphen.
Which type of dielectric is used most often in variable capacitors?
The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.

Are any capacitor in three phase induction motor?
There doesn't have to be but capacitors are sometimes used to correct the power factor.
Are tantalum capacitors polarized?
Yes, tantalum capacitors are polarized capacitors.This means that when connecting them in a circuit, you must connect the anode to the higher positive voltage than the cathode.
What is use of decoupling capacitor?
to protect a circuit from damaging
