Power factor correction (PFC) aims to improve power factor, and therefore power quality. It reduces the load on the electrical distribution system, increases energy efficiency and reduces electricity costs. It also decreases the likelihood of instability and failure of equipment.

What is the importance of power factor correction when the time comes that you are already a computer engineer?

Power factor correction capacitors increase system current-carrying capacity . Raising the power factor on a kW load reduces kVA . Therefore, by adding capacitors, you can add additional kW load to your system without altering the kVA .

What is power factor give its importance?

Power factor is a measure of how effectively you are using electricity. Various types of power are used to provide us with electrical energy. This power is split between something called Working Power and Reactive Power. Working power is used in all electrical appliances to create such things as heat, light and motion.
