Why we use a shunt capacitor or synchronizing Motor To
Improve a Power factor pls reply me in this mail

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

The above answer given by is irrelevant ,as the word
'synchronizing motor' caught me on the wrong foot.Almost all
loads are inductive and hence the pf of the system is always
lagging.To negate lagging reactive load we have to include
capacitive reactive load using either shunt capacitors or
over excited synchronous motor.
