how can we calculate that how much capacitor is needed for
a system to increase the pf?

Answer Posted / iamdon

Before doing mathematical manupulaion,as expaines very well
by our answer poster Dinesh.

Lets understand this simple fact that the power factor
changes due to the variation in Reactive power only.With
the help of power factor, one can easily calculate Reactive
power(Q=P*tan(arc cos pf)). The difference between reactive
power at two power factors is supplied by capacitor.
