<strong>Volt</strong>/Var Fundamentals‣ Switching capacitors on will reduce the electriccurrent (I) on the line, which will:‣ Reduces the electrical losses (I 2 R)‣ Reduces the amount of energy (kilowatt-hours) required tosupply the existing load and reduces the peak demand on thesystem‣ Indirect control of feeder voltage through CapacitorSwitching which raises the feeder voltage to:‣ Increases the real and reactive load (depending on the kind ofdevice)‣ However, this increases losses in distribution transformers4
