Measure the power factor using a power quality meter
Identify whether the load is inductive, capacitive, or mixed
Calculate the required reactive power compensation in kVAR
Install capacitor banks for inductive loads
Use automatic power factor correction panels for varying loads
Add detuned reactors if harmonics are present
Place correction equipment close to the load
Avoid overcorrection to leading power factor
Monitor the power factor regularly
Maintain and test capacitors, contactors, and controllers periodically
