Inductive Capacitive
motors have a large startup current requirement
resulting in lagging power factors.
capacitor banks or buried cable result in leading
power factors.

Control signal If the control unit is equipped with a power factor controller while in parallel with the utility:
A voltage lower "-" signal is output as long as
the measured value is "more inductive" than the
reference setpoint
Example: measured = i0.91; setpoint = i0.95
A voltage raise "+" signal is output as long as
the measured value is "more capacitive" than
the reference setpoint
Example: measured = c0.91; setpoint = c0.95
