Power Factor Correction The design of any power transmission system is very sensitive to the magnitude of the
current in the lines as determined by the applied loads.
Increased currents result in increased power losses (by a squared factor since P = I2R) in the transmission lines due to the resistance of the lines.
Heavier currents also require larger conductors, increasing the amount of copper needed for the system, and they require increased generating capacities by the utility company.
Since the line voltage of a transmission system is fixed, the apparent power is directly related to the current level.
In turn, the smaller the net apparent power, the smaller the current drawn from the supply. Minimum current is therefore drawn from a supply when S = P and QT = 0.
The process of introducing reactive elements to bring the power factor closer to unity is called power-factor correction. Since most loads are inductive, the process normally involves introducing elements with capacitive terminal characteristics having the sole purpose of improving the power factor.

Power Factor Correction The process of increasing the power factor without altering the voltage or current to the original load is called power factor correction.
Power factor correction is necessary for economic reasons.
