Answer Posted / master ramunniraja

Yes, Motor is a inductive load, it generate lagging PF. If
we use capacitor PF will increase because capacitive load
generate Leading PF. So Both are compensated So PF increased.

L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is located at a place from where transmission line enters the transmitting substation. So L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is the first equipments which has to encounter with lightening, high voltage surges and switching surges. It has to absorb energy of lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges. L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is made up of layers of semiconductors. If these layers can not tolerate energy released by lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges the L.A. (Lightening Arrester) blasts.
