what is leading and laging please in details

Answer Posted / sachin b. bhoir

when the load is inductive then the power factor is lagging
and when the load is capacitive then the PF is leading. in
that case of lagging the current lag behind the voltage and
in other case the current leads the voltage. The power
consumption does not effected by the PF but the rating of
the eqpt. are generally effected with pf bcoz it has to
utilised under the capacity due to low pf.
the pf can be improved by connecting the capacitor of
particular capacity depends upon your load rating to
compensate the reactive load.
