It is true only in case of a Load which is running a poor
power factor because capacitor draws the Leading current
which cancel outs the lagging current of load and thus no
current drawn from line but if a load which already having a
good power factor capacitor will draw the leading current
from the line.
For checking this fact, just switch on a capacitor on the
panel when there is no load condition.

Our Alternator nameplate specifies a power factor of 0.8. When the Alternator is on light load, the bus bar voltage rises to 11240 volts, whereas the standard value is 10500 volts. Is it ok to increase the power factor to 0.85 or 0.9. I am afraid because the power factor on the name plate is only 0.8 ?
