[QUOTE="Jono Pashley, post: 64850, member: 1564"] If the p.f were to be reduced it would be less efficient. Capacitors are generally used to improve a power factor, reduce would be the wrong term. A highly inductive load could have a p.f of say 0.4 a capacitor would be used to bring that closer to 1. If you get your text book your using for the course and read up on power factor correction that should explain alot. [/QUOTE]
