These type of capacitors are probably the most visible and widely spotted by people. In the distribution systems, the power factor correction capacitorsare usually installed on the poles. These installations are similar to the pole-mounted distribution transformers. The interconnections are made using insulated power.

Combination between rule of thumb (so called 2/3 rule) and running series of power flow simulations to fine-tune the capacitor size and location.
In theory, capacitor can be installed anywhere. But we must evaluate the relevant practical and economic feasibility. According to the location of capacitor, following are the types of power factor correction. 1. Distributed power factor correction
In which capacitor banks are located at the origin or at the centre of the system. This allows a remarkable reduction in total power of the installed capacitors. The capacitor banks must be installed with a switching device, as keeping capacitor banks connected permanently to the system is not good choice. 4. Combined power factor correction
The capacitor bank is installed close to the loadto provide reactive power locally. In a system in which a large number of small equipment are compensated, the reactive power demand may fluctuate, depending on the load. During off-peak load condition, the capacitor bank voltage may go up and hence overcompensation should be avoided.
There are several different methodologies for determining capacitor size and location: Place capacitors at loads which consume significant reactive power. For example, place capacitor in an industrial plant which have less than 85% power factor and bus voltage less than 95% nominal.
Industrial and domestic loads, powered through substations, also have inductive loads majorly. Such loads pull down the power factor as explained above, decrease efficiency, and cause power loss. A sizable capacitor bank is added to the system to counteract this effect. While the inductor causes power lag, the capacitor causes power lead.
