Capacitor compensation cabinets can effectively improve the power factor of the power grid, save energy, and improve power supply quality. Power factor refers to the percentage of apparent power in a power grid that is used to supply active power. In the operation of a power grid, a higher power factor is desirable. If this is achieved, most of the apparent power in the circuit will be used to sup...

Analysis of the reasons for the decrease in power factor on the power supply side after the AHF only performs harmonic filtering: I. Increased total apparent power naturally leads to a decrease in the overall power factor. Power factor λ = P/S. Active power P is determined only by the fundamental active power; harmonics do not contribute. After filtering, the fundamental reactive power remains unc...
