What is meant by power factor correction?

Answer Posted / muhammad abubakar siddiq

Active power is the product of cureent , voltager and power
factor as power factor decrease requireq cureent increse so
losses increses and KVA increases , we have to increase it
close to unity by sereis reactors , parrallel capacitors to
make our system n application run at increased efficiency .
