Abb manufactures shunt, which are power capacitor that increases transmission capability, reduce losses and improve the power factor. Economical means to apply large blocks of 3 phase reactive power at the substation. Salient features are as follows:
1 they will also improve the voltage stability and reduce network losses. Improving the power factor also means a higher power transmission capability and increased control of the power flow.
2 the installation of capacitors in a transmission or distribution network is called power factor correction or reactive power compensation.
Advantages open-rack banks are that it reduces network losses, increased voltage stability and improved power quality.
