Why Capacitors Are Used In Power Factor Correction?
Capacitors are used in power factor correction because they help improve the power factor by relieving the reactive power line.
The capacitor achieves this by storing the remagnetization energy.
The
power factor correction uses capacitors connected in parallel to counteract the effects of inductive components and reduce the phase shift between voltage and current.
This technique uses capacitors to reduce the reactive power component of an AC circuit to improve its efficiency and reduce current.
