    In ielectrical iplants, ithe iloads idraw ifrom ithe inetwork ielectric ipower i(active) ias ipower isupply isource i(e.g. ipersonal icomputers, iprinters, idiagnostic iequipment, ietc.) ior iconvert iit iinto iother iform iof ienergy i(e.g. ielectrical ilamps ior istoves) ior iinto imechanical ioutput i(e.g. ielectrical imotors). iTo iget ithis, iit iis ioften inecessary ithat ithe iload iexchanges iwith ithe inetwork i(with inet inull iconsumption) iand ithe ireactive ienergy iis iproduced imainly ifrom iinductive itype. iThis ienergy, ieven iif inot iimmediately iconverted iinto iother iforms, icontributes ito iincrease ithe itotal ipower iflowing ithrough iin ithe ielectrical inetwork, ifrom ithe igenerators, iall ialong ithe iconductors, ito ithe iusers. iTo ismooth isuch inegative ieffect, ithe ipower ifactor icorrection iof ithe ielectrical iplants iis icarried iout. iThe ipower ifactor icorrection iobtained iby iusing icapacitor ibanks ito igenerate ilocally ithe ireactive ienergy inecessary ifor ithe itransfer iof ielectrical iuseful ipower, iallows ia ibetter iand imore irational itechnical-economical imanagement iof ithe iplants.
