When capacitor bank connect on line. It's draw some current
but it's current not increase of main line ammeter. Why?



When capacitor bank connect on line. It's draw some current but it's current not increas..

Answer / dhanesh

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.
