in a induction motor if we put capacitor across it will the
power factor of the motor will improve? if yes how

Answer Posted / manish singla

Connecting capacitors in parallel to induction motor does
not necessarily improve the Power Factor. There will be two
cases as listed below;-

If motor is already running on full load then itself its
power factor will be in the ranges of .85 to .9.

If motor is running without load i.e. Idle, then there will
be lot of scope in improving power factor by connecting
Capacitors in Parllel.
