Most industrial loads include inductive components, such as motor windings, and therefore have lagging power factors. Capacitors are often used in conjunction with those loads for the purpose of power factor correction. The capacitor is connected in parallel with the loaf to avoid an unwanted voltage drop.
For example: The voltage across all the capacitors is 10V and the capacitance value are 2F, 3F and 6F respectively. Draw and label each capacitor with its charge and voltage. Once the voltage and charge in each capacitor is calculated, the circuit is solved. Label these information in the circuit drawing to keep everything organized.
The switching ON and OFF of the capacitors takes place in sequence and one by one capacitor bank. The required power factor can be set in the controller in the control panel. This set power factor value will be less than one to avoid over voltage in case of sudden reduction of the inductive load.
