   Hello, all, and I may have posted this question once before, which has   
   to do with procedure rather than a theoretical understanding:  On   
   overhead MV distribution systems one often observes a bank of power   
   factor (PF) correction capacitors.  I get the theory but how do   
   engineers decide the location for these capacitors?  Is it based upon   
   actual measurement of MV PF at a location or an estimate by electric   
   utility engineers?  They've got to come up with the amount of KVAR   
   correction required by some means.  I've never seen any PF measurement   
   equipment designed for direct connection to MV lines (seems kind of   
   dangerous).  Thanks for your time and comment.  Sincerely,   
   --
