Power factor correction from real system data
Your load flow analysis already knows the real and reactive power in every branch. ekx shows you exactly where kVAR correction is needed and how much — from the actual model, not an estimate.
What you get
Overall system power factor calculated from the actual loads in your model.
kW and kVAR flow visible in every branch of the system.
Required capacitor kVAR calculated to achieve your target power factor.
See where reactive power is consumed most — place correction where it's most effective.
See how power factor correction affects bus voltages via load flow analysis.
Reduced reactive current means reduced losses. See the impact in the load flow.
Power factor correction as part of system analysis
Instead of a standalone kVAR calculator with estimated values, ekx calculates correction requirements from the actual power flow in your model.
- Load flow shows real and reactive power in every branch
- System power factor calculated from actual load data
- kVAR requirement derived from current vs target power factor
- Voltage and loss impacts visible after correction is applied

From the load flow analysis: current system kW and power factor versus your target power factor. The kVAR difference is the required correction.
Yes. Adding capacitor correction changes reactive power flow, which affects bus voltages. Load flow recalculates to show the impact.
The load flow shows where reactive power consumption is highest, which is typically the most effective correction point.
Power factor correction sizing is based on fundamental frequency analysis. Harmonic considerations should be evaluated separately by the engineer.
