The majority of electrical equipment has an inductive characteristic, such as motors and fluorescent
lamps. They create a reactive load on the supply network, which generates additional losses in
transformers and cables. Utilities take the reactive power percentage into account in their tariffs and
the end user has to pay for his reactive power consumption. The use of power capacitors for reactive
power compensation not only saves costs, but also results in better utilization of the local network. The
power reserves which are obtained can avoid otherwise necessary network extension and thus save
on considerable investment costs.
