Answer / bijay

For domestic supply ( 1 Phase) the PF variation is
comparatively low.
It is maintained at 0.95 by the Supply authority
(electricity board).
Capacitor Bank is located at the main

Answer / raj

MAIN THING THE PF IS MAINTAIN FOR INDUCTIVE LOADS . IN
DOMESTIC WE HAVING THE RESISTIVE LOADS . BUT IN WE USING
FAN MOTORS AND SINGLE PHASE MOTORS ETC WE KNOW IN EVERY
SINGLE PHASE MOTOR WE CONNECT THE CAPACITOR IN SERIES OR
PARELLEL.SO PF IS MAINTAINING.
