ABSTRACT
Power factor is likewise an important factor from the point of view of plant economics. At a low-power factor, the load current is very high. erefore, the current to be supplied from the generating station is also large. is high current is also responsible for large I2R losses in the system and larger voltage drops. erefore, the regulation becomes poor; in order to supply the consumer’s voltage within permissible limits, power factor correction equipment is to be set up. erefore, the cost of generation increases.
