Features: Alternating current is a necessary energy source for industrial and mining enterprises, shopping malls, hotels, transportation, and other units. The variation of reactive power affects power factor and power supply voltage quality. This book starts with the knowledge of reactive power and comprehensively introduces methods to improve the power factor of various electrical equipment in industrial and mining enterprises, as well as capacitor compensation technology. It provides detailed explanations on how to design, install, and commission reactive power local compensation devices. The content of this book is based on the practical needs of industrial and mining enterprises and various units, helping to broaden perspectives, introduce new technologies, and make it easy to understand and adopt, achieving significant improvements in power factor, voltage stability, and energy savings. The author has been engaged in power technology work at the grassroots level and has taught modern reactive power courses at universities, as well as exchanging knowledge domestically and internationally. The relatively mature technical achievements summarized in this book. Basically, the design, installation, and commissioning of motor reactive power local compensation devices come from the research and practical experience accumulated by several authors.
