Abstract
Application of power factor correction capacitors in modem industrial plants must consider harmonic components of voltage and current in the application. Whether the capacitors are installed as power factor correction for individual motors, as a bank of capacitors, or as a tuned filter capacitor bank, harmonic distortion can prove disastrous to the application. Three case histories are discussed.
