Essentially, power factor is a measurement of how effectively electrical power is being used. The higher the power factor, the more effectively electrical power is being used. Poor power factor happens due to an inductive loads and it can be corrected by reducing the inductive current by applying capacitor banks. Capacitor banks are widely used as it is more practical and economical. Capacitive power factor correction is applied to circuits as a means of reducing inductive load and therefore can be utilised to reduce kVA and electrical costs.
