By using a capacitor bank ppower factor lagging or leading
can be maintained. Leadin power factor is the problem. If
Power factor is leading, the reactive power of total power
export to the grid is high and active power content will
become less.

Answer / k.prakashchandra

Pf lagging means over-excitation ,leading pf is caused by
under excitation.Maintain pf at 0.95 t0 0.98 lagging by
varying the excitation .

Answer / javad

both lagging and leading p.f will badly affect the system
we have to maintin unity p.f.
lagging and leading p.f will take more current from the
alternator for the same equipment.

eg: power taken by a motor = v*i pf
= 230*20*1= 4600 w
suppose if the p.f is .6 either lagg or lead
in order to get the same power to motor it will take more current ie more than 20 amps.

Let's say I have 2 current carrying conductors C1 and C2 carrying currents of 5A and 10A. They are brought close to each other from a distance of infinity to a distance of 10cm away from each other - 1. What would be the values of current flowing in each conductor when (taking into account effects of interference of each conductor on the other) - a. The currents are AC b. The currents are DC c. C1 is AC and C2 is DC Please explain your answer with mathematical equations and formulas. Please specify the final numeric answer. Please make assumptions and clearly specify them.
