Answer / arvind

because D.G. is designed for 0.8 lagging power factor, that
is why capacitor is off, now if you switch on the capacitor
then power factor will improve, but it depends upon the
load. if the load is less & capacitor bank rating is more
mens not designed as per the load attached to the D.G. the
power factor will become power because instead of lag it
will lead.

because it produce leading power factor ... on that time
capacitor bank act as a load ... it produces losses
