Summary:Given the large number of non-linear consumers that affect the power quality, the study and the correction of the power factor is the solution for improving the operation of the electrical grid. This also implies financial aspects. The paper focuses on students education and one of the important issues is to be closer to the real industrial world and the actual tools and solutions that are used in the field of power factor correction. Meantime, the subject has to be close to their level of understanding. A laboratory work was designed and was used as a basis for the training of the students.
