Capacitor Switching Contactor

There are a large number of feeders running from substation to the load in distribution networks. The line current varies heavily during the day. The nature of load is unpredictable as a large number of small loads are connected in the distribution network. It affects the power factor adversely. The power factor improvement at the load end for medium and large scale industries can be governed. In case of domestic users, which are the majority, it is difficult to estimate the cost to benefit advantage and thus it is difficult to maintain power factor on their respective premises. Hence switched capacitors prove beneficial for such loads.
