There are different ways in which the efficiency of the system is improved and the cost of the system is decreased. Here in this paper to decrease the losses and to improve the efficiency of the system, power factor calculation analyzed. Power factor plays an important role to improve the power system generation, transmission and distribution. There are different ways in which the power factor has been improved. There are different benefits of the improvement of the power factor. Here in this research paper capacitor is used for the improvement of the power factor. The rating of the capacitor has been calculated and analyzed and the power factor of different equipment has been calculated and analyses. The calculation has been done before and after the improvement of power factor by using a capacitor and it if found that after adding the capacitor, the power factor of the system is improved and analyzed the capacitor value for this system is 7000µF. The cost of the system is also calculated.
