If you are paying a lot for a
significantly low power factor (well below 0.8), you can take steps to
correct it at your own expense. Mostly these involve adding shunt
capacitors to the line possible with a timer control.

This was done a few years ago. I'll have to dig out some bills ot see how
well it worked. There were three or four capacitors at different locations
in the plant.. This is allegedly better than one big one at the 800A main
panel.


or 2nd - Contact the billing specialist at your utility company and
request a copy of the tariffs. If they have the ability to explain
it to you, in addition, consider yourself lucky.

The tariffs are easy enough to find. Explanation is a whole other scenario.
