POWER FACTOR
Inductive loads such as washing machines, air conditioners,
refrigerators and induction motors operate at a low lagging
power factor.
With a low lagging power factor, more current is drawn and
will increase the reactive power (kVAR). Note that, when PF =
1, the kVAR = 0.
PF improvement or correction is done by installing capacitors
in parallel with the load.

REDUCING MAXIMUM DEMAND
Few activities could be carried out by the customers that
could assist in reducing MD charges such as:
Practicing demand side management such as peak shift.
Shifting peak operation / consumption to off-peak period
as MD charges is not applicable during off-peak period for
customer with peak/off-peak tariff
Opting for any promotional scheme offered by TNB
relating to MD such as Sunday Tariff Rider Scheme (STR).
Starts equipments such as motors and chillers in stages or
during off-peak period.
