Why Power Capacitors are required to be incorporated
In India Most of the electrical installation in the industry draw Apparent Power ( KVA ) from the main supply line. This apparent power is in excess of Useful power ( KV ). The ratio of Useful Power to Apparent Power is termed as Power Factor of the load. Power Factor ( Cos $) = KW/Kva.

Typical Power Factors prevalent in the industry
Fluorescent Lamp / Vapour Lamp / Sodium Lamp : 0.5-0.6 * induction Motor : * Loaded : 0.5 * Welding : Resistance welding : 0.6 * Arc Welding : 0.5 * induction & Arc Furnace : 0.5-0.7

MATRIX CAPACITORS ARE ENERGY SAVING DEVICES
As they help in reduction of the electricity bill obtained by elimination of additional charges for the reactive power required by the inductive loads. when the load is connected to the line the load absorbs a current that depends on its electrical characteristics. Product of this current by the applied voltage is called apparent power ( KVA ). This KVA is consumed by the mechanical power ( Or active power ) & the reactive power needed for the generation of magnetic fields required for some loads. Relation between active power & the apparent power needed for the generation of magnetic field required for some loads is defined as power factor. Electrical Capacitor ( MATRIX Make MPP capacitors ) installed near the inductive loads like Motors / transformers ) produce the reactive power required by these inductive loads. Their connection to ( Power Capacitors ) to the electrical network is called Compensation or improvement of power factor ( COS $ ) as it is the most economical & safe system to produce the desired reactive power in the system.
