A Brief Overview Of Global Power Factor Correction Device Regulations

Many countries and international organizations have established corresponding regulations for capacitor bank for power factor improvement. For example, the European Union defines the minimum power factor or maximum harmonic level that equipment must possess to be sold in the European market. The United States has similar regulations, requiring power correction device to comply with the IEEE 519 standard to ensure the stability of the power system and reduce interference to the grid. China's standard is issued by the State Grid Corporation of China, which specifies power factor requirements for different voltage levels.
