No,capacitive is better
To be more precise, None of them is benificial, we will
happy to use unit pf instrument.

But As we already have many instruments like motor, induction
heater etc which works on lagging factor, and are responsible
for making lagging pf system. So, we need something to
neutrilise the effect. This can be done by encouraging use of
leading pf instruments.

So, one may say capacitive pf is beneficial

Answer / k.prakashchandra

Both result in higher currents . In case of gen stations the
pf is maintained at slightly lagging, for system stability.

Answer / arul

We are using maximum load for industrial and commertial also the inductive load because the current has been laging then voltage. Because we need to compensate the effects while we are using capacitive pf correction use to correct the power factor

We say that if voltage in a power system is increased,for a constant power the current will decrease (by P=VI). isn't this in disagreement with the ohms law(I propotional V;resistant const.).Since the resistance of transmission lines remains constant,shouldn't inc in voltage cause inc in current across the transmission line? I have read many articles across the net but still couldn't this figure this out. :( Guyz plz assist me with dis..:)..
