This leading current offsets the lagging current that inductive loads require. The net effect reduces total reactive current flowing from the supply.<\/p><p>Why does this matter? Reactive current occupies transmission capacity without delivering useful power. It increases losses in cables, transformers, and generators. By providing reactive power locally through a shunt capacitor bank, systems operate more efficiently. Less current flows through upstream equipment for the same real power delivery.<\/p><p>The physics are straightforward enough. Capacitors store and release energy in alternating fashion, 90 degrees out of phase with voltage. Inductors do the same, but with opposite phase relationship.
