¿Un Variador Mejora el Factor de Potencia? La Verdad que Nadie te Explica

Does a variable frequency drive (VFD) really improve a motor's power factor? This is one of the most common questions among students, electricians, technicians, and electrical engineers. In this video, you'll discover the technical and practical explanation of how a VFD behaves with respect to power factor, reactive power, and harmonics. You'll learn why many people believe that the VFD completely corrects the power factor and what the reality is from the perspective of the electrical grid. You'll also learn why many industries reduce or eliminate capacitor banks after installing VFDs, and when this is advisable and when it's not. 00:00 🔥 Does a VFD Correct the Power Factor?
