i heard that power factor(PF) is the main concern for
industries, if they are maintaining PF around 0.6 they will
be fined for that. now the question is, how can they improve
the PF ranging between 0.9 to 0.95 which is safe for them
i,e escaping from the fine?

Answer Posted / amit biswas

inddustries mostly use static variable compensation (SVC)
technique for pf improvment.

Nowwhy dose pf drops? Due to inductive loads(eg.due to
arcing furnaces)

what SVC scheme dose is it proptionatly increases
captcitacne with inc. inductance or vice versa.

also using syc. motors can improve pf
(remember sync. motor is also called sync. condensor)
