Why we are not using capacitor in line when load on Genset?

Answer Posted / william lobo

By putting capacitor on Genset what we are doing is only
loading the genset additionally.
Capacitor is used to improve the power factor of the
system. This is important for the power supply cos; hence
they insist that pf should be 0.9 or thereabout.
Hence it is compulsory to use Capacitors to improve the PF
if below 0.8 or they will fine you.
When using a gen set we have to see what is the type of
load. If it is motor load inductive then we have to switch
on some of the capacitor banks only.
