Capacitors are used in distribution systems to provide reactive power compensation, which directly affects the voltage profile and losses on the feeder. Inductive loads, like motors, consume reactive power, causing the voltage to drop along the feeder. Capacitors inject reactive power into the system, counteracting the inductive load and supporting the voltage. Proper capacitor placement is crucial. Placing capacitors near the load centers is most effective in im....
