  • Abstract
    A low power factor has been caused in many systems during the summer months which is becoming an increasing problem in voltage regulation of distribution systems and networks. The installation of capacitors on the low-voltage side of networks is one way to increase materially the available capacity of network transformers. This and other applications are discussed together with a description of new submersible corrosion-resistant capacitors which have been designed to be suitable for application in transformer vaults.
