Adding power-factor correction capacitors to a factory can improve electrical efficiency at the distribution level, but it can also create a serious power-quality problem. In facilities with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other electronic equipment, capacitor banks may amplify existing harmonic currents instead of improving overall electrical performance. The risk Continue Reading
