OUR METER READER TAKE READING OF INDUSTRIAL CONSUMER.THEY
ALWAYS ASK HOW TO INCREASE POWER FACTOR FROM 60% TO 99 % TO
AVOID PENALTY OF POWER FACTOR.
Answer Posted / pillay
The power factor is low for industrial customer because the load is usually inductive due to the many motors installed.
Power supply companies sell by calculating KWH used.Thier generators maximum capacity is limited by the amps the generator can produce at a fixed voltage.
So calculations will tell u that lower power factor means higher amps for the same KWH &AND HIGHER PF MEANS LOWER AMPS for the same kwh. thus the power supply companies can make more money from the same generator and also save on other expenses.
power factor is improved by connecting reactive load in parallel.this reactive power is loss free and you dont pay for the power consumption.
