Power Factor Correction Capacitors

The growing demand for electricity has required large investments in power generation to meet the rate of global development, both in developing countries where the population has gained greater access to consumer goods, and in developed countries, where energy efficiency has been object concern in order to reduce high investments in power generation. These investments, however, besides being planned in the medium and long term, involve the use of increasingly scarce natural resources which are subject to environmental pressures.
In short term, the best way to increase the supply of electricity has been reducing waste and increasing energy efficiency. It is estimated that currently 40% of global consumption of electricity is related to the use of electric motors. Moreover, the application of new technologies has become increasingly common in many industry sectors, bringing deep changes in the form of application and control of electric motors.
