HAT IS THE EFFECT OF LOW POWER FACTOR ON THE GENERATING STATION?HOW WILL YOU IMPROVE THE LOW POWER..

Answer / pillay

power is sold in units of KWH.The capacity of the generator is
limited by the max ampere load on the alternator.So a load of
low PF will mean a high ampere .That means you can only
generate lower KWH FROM THE GENERATOR IF THE PF IS LOW BUT BY
IMPROVING THE PF YOU CAN GENERATE A HIGHER KWH. THAT MEANS IT
IS MORE PROFITABLE.
PF CAN BE IMPROVED BY CONNECTING CONDENSORS OR PF IMPROVING
SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS.
