Hi
To correct power factor and consequently reduce the amunt of current the source has to provide for the active power (true work we want) and the reactive power. The way is to add impedances to the circuit to the load impedances. The added ones are again of the reactive type. Formulas demonstrate this. But why , apart from formulas demonstration, adding, example, a condensator, in the proper way obviously, in a circuit that contains an inductance (example a motor) the goal is reached? I mean what happen to the current, to the electrons, how do they move in the new circuit causing a decreased need of electrons themselves generated by the source?
