Benefits of using reactive capacitors
Meaning of reactive power compensation:
Most electrical industrial equipment have active capacity and reactive power. This reactive power consumption will be transmitted on the grid towards source providing reactive power.
- Introduction What is a capacitor and compensation capacitor reactive power
This power transmission on the wire will lose some power and cause increased voltage loss and cause the amount of apparent power to increase.
This leads to an increase in the cost to build the line. So reactive power compensation will have the following benefits:
– Reduce voltage loss in the power network.
– Reduce power loss in the power network.
– Increase transmission capacity of lines and transformers.
Using reactive power in addition to improving the cosᵠ coefficient also brings the effect of reducing the cost of non-ferrous metals, ie reducing the cross-section of the conductor, so capacitors should be used to compensate for reactive power. will save electricity grid construction costs, reduce electricity costs.
