in a induction motor if we put capacitor across it will the
power factor of the motor will improve? if yes how

Answer Posted / gunasekaran

It compensate lagging power factor. motor is inductive load
inductance alway oppose changing current so it is always
lagging with voltage but capacitor always oppose the
changing volage so it always leading PF so this compensate
the lagging reactive power.so active power consuming from
source will be reduced for given load.
