Thus, by changing the power sign convention from passive to active, we also change how we look at capacitors – namely, we look at them as generators of reactive power instead of loads that consume it. Consequently, the sign of power flow changes from negative to positive and capacitors end up generating (positive) reactive power.

Why reduce reactive power? More power

The capacitor bank is the most well-known solution for reducing reactive power and has been used for decades. The capacitor bank is - as the name implies - a cabinet full of capacitors with which the reactive power for the coil is supplied. As a result, the reactive power for the capacitor bank has disappeared and a cos-phi of 1 is measured.
