I have installed capacitor bank at secondary transformer.
cos phi is increase. but on load (far from transormer), it
still poor. Can anybody explain it??

Answer Posted / jinu

capacitor bank will improve the power factor towards the
supply side only. ie if you are measuring the power factor
before the capacitor bank it will show the improved power
factor. But the same time when you measure it after the
bank it will show you the load power factor not the
improved power factor.
