The power factor correction refers to the utilization of capacitor banks that are designed to improve the efficiency of an electrical power system by compensating for the lagging power factor caused by inductive loads such as motors, transformers, and other inductive devices. Capacitor banks are strategically installed to supply reactive power (KVARs) to the system, which reduces the amount of reactive power that needs to be supplied by the utility, thereby improving the power factor.
