HOW TO CORRECT THE POWER FACTOR?
Theoretically speaking, when you must choose where to locate the capacitive power the most appropriate solution from a technical standpoint would be to assign each load its own power factor correction capacitor, to be switched on together with the machine. In practice, however, this entails excessive costs and technical problems in most cases, since it requires the installation of a larger number of low-power capacitors distributed in many different points, which cannot be effectively monitored over time; plus little benefit is to be derived from reducing losses in the cables, negligible compared to those in the power transformer. Therefore, this solution is only feasible in large facilities or where there are very high power loads.
