recudes the KVAR and which leads to reduction in monthly bill , later life span of power applince improve due to less heating effect.

Improvement of power factor, reduced for maximum lackinging powerfactor,Demand for controlled. No for penalty.safety of reactive power control equipment. Kvarh support for additional power equally important. Pf=kw/Kva,

Capacitors banks also improves the system voltage profiles.

Correction of power factor itself leads to multiple benefits: reduced bill (especially if there is power factor penalty), longer lifespan of your devices, reduces heating in cables due to reactive power demand.

Capacitor bank can also help to provide constant voltage and may even help to support additional load.
