explain me how a power factor is improved by adding a
capacitor?what capacitor do to improve it?in simple words
and in detail?thx

My dear friend,
I m describing the answer very simply. If the load is
inductive load i.e. 100 Amp motor load. Then some current
i.e. 75% (75 A) will be drawn by Electricity line & balance
25% (25 A) will be drawn by Capacitors if they are connected
before load. so Electricity billing reduced only for 75 Amp
instead of 100 Amp.
I m using same system for transformer testing. So
technically we can say that we improve PF by using
capacitors, so that we get benifit in Electricity Billing.
If you want further clarification, plz write me on
