If the power factor falls from the limit specified by PT. PLN (Persero) that is 0.85 lagging, it will result in power losses on the conductor of electricity, the greater the kVA rating of a larger equipment and the voltage drop occurs to be large, so the value at the receiving end becomes smaller. If the power factor is close to 1 lagging, the electric power system is getting better and can reduce the power lost due to the inductive effects. The purpose of this research is to improve the power factor caused by the changeable load and inductive load by planning the design of the capacitor bank. Using quantitative methods, the power factor results obtained on the 150KV transmission line obtained when the bank capacitor is designed is 0.98 lagging} }
