ABSTRACT

"POWER FACTOR CORRECTION" method is used

when any inductive load is connected and due to these the current
will be lagging.
Therefore reactive power will be needed more so the load will
consume more power. So here the capacitor is connected before the
load so it will provide reactive power and again the load will
consume the near value to its rated power.
These techniques is used:In agriculture where farmer uses heavy motor for pumping the
water from well.
In Industries where different motor is used for different
purpose
In commercial purpose for example Schools,colleges,etc.
Residential purpose and many more places where this
techniques
is used.

USER:
Farmers:Farmers can improve his motor efficiency by implementing the
power factor correction method.

STAKEHOLDER:
Industries:Industries can make difference in the electricity bill by reducing
the reactive power by implementing the capacitor bank between the load &
supply.

Commercial Purpose:Lagging power can be improved by

implementing leading power Hence electricity bill can be reduce, So
more profit can be gain.

ACTIVITIES:
Meeting with Employees:-

Observation Of Diff. Value Of With Induction
