Power Shunt Capacitors (KVAr)

A capacitor connected in parallel to a load or supply point is a shunt capacitor. Shunt capacitors are extensively used in power systems across load or on supply lines to offer leading load. This counteracts the lagging load and improves power factor to acceptable limits.
