I_i and I_f are values of current without and with capacitor across the load respectively

C is the value of capacitance required to achieve the desired power factor

I_{i} = Dummy Text

I_{f} = Dummy Text

C = Dummy Text μ farad

I_i and I_f are values of line current without and with capacitor across the load respectively

φ_i and φ_f are values of phase angles without and with capacitor across the load respectively

P is the power consumed by the load

Q_c is the reactive power of the capacitor of capacitance C

I_{i} = \frac{P}{V \cos φ_{i}}

I_{f} = \frac{P}{V \cos φ_{f}}

φ_f < φ_i

cos(φ_f) > cos(φ_i)

Hence, I_f < I_i

For given power the line current is reduced if the load reactive power is compensated

Q_{c} = P(tan φ_{i} - \tan φ_{f})

C = \frac{Q_{c}}{2πf V^{2}}
