Injection Molding Facility Reduces kW Usage with Capacitors At Load - Garden Grove, CA Most of us are aware of utility minimum power factor requirements and penalties charged unless power factor is maintained above the minimums. Another benefit of improving power factor that we recognize is the unloading of the transformer when capacitors are installed on the secondary distribution system. What many have forgotten is the basic fact that capacitors reduce the power usage from their point of connection in the electrical system back to the utility source. No load readings are changed from the capacitor point of connection out to the actual motors or equipment being serviced. If a plant contains a quantity of large horsepower motors, a look at the concept of capacitor-at-load, that is, mountin
