What are PF capacitors and what are its applications in switchgear?
PF capacitors, or Power Factor capacitors, are electrical devices used to improve the power factor of an electrical system. The power factor (PF) is a measure of how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output in an AC (alternating current) circuit. A low power factor indicates that a significant portion of the electrical power is being wasted, leading to inefficiencies in the system. Power factor is typically measured on a scale from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating perfect power factor (all power is being used effectively) and... Read More
