In the article<\/a>, it explains several reasons why it is important for electrical loads<\/a> in industrial settings to be measured and have power factor correction. Power factor is used to measure active, working power and it is ideal to have a 1.0 rating, which means all the power is going towards performing work. The farther the power factor is from 1.0 the less efficient the system will be and produces more strain on the equipment from the higher currents. Three benefits to correcting the power factor include: lowering utility bills, reducing power and loading on the distribution network, and lessening carbon emissions. There are several ways for industrial and commercial operations to correct their power factors; such as, adding capacitor banks that counteract the cause of low power factor, removing wasted energy and its harmful effects. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
