why bulbs when connected in series glow dim..

Answer / pillay

When 2 bulbs are connected in series it is like 2 resistors are
connected in series.The current flow according to ohms law would
be voltage /resistance . The current through each bulb causes a
voltage drop as per ohms law also, v=IXR.So the bulb that was
actually designed for the full voltage is now working at a lower
voltage because of the voltage drop across the bulbs.This is why
the bulbs glow, but if you were to connect two bulbs of a lower
voltage in series it would be brighter.

We have a 12MW power plant & we inject 5-6MW power to Orissa GRID. For this we have a 33KV/11KV switch yard having 12.5MVA power transformer. Some times we draw power during emergency. It is observed that during Export or Import for load less than 500Kw the power factor is decreasing to 0.3 . This is happening only during export or import. During island condition TG power factor OK.Our capacitor bank is provided with our Power plant auxilliary load. Please suggest how I can we improve our power factor during low load (GRID).
