No, capacitor banks reduce harmonics. They act like a low pass filter. They also raise voltage by compensating for inductance and bringing the power factor back closer to 1.

Capacitor banks in the power system can cause transients when randomly closed - many utilities use zero voltage closing equipment, or inductors to counteract this short time harmonic problem.

The relative amplitude of harmonics produce different sounding notes?

Yes, the relative amplitude of harmonics affects the timbre or quality of a sound. Different instruments produce varying harmonic structures, which contribute to their unique sound characteristics. Adjusting the amplitudes of harmonics through techniques such as filtering or equalization can alter the overall tone of a sound.


What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?

The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.


How can you use capacitors in full wave rectification?

The capacitor is not involved in the rectification ... that's all taken care of before anything reaches the capacitor. What's left is a DC component with many harmonics of the line frequency added to it. By providing a low-impedance path to ground for AC frequencies, the capacitor effectively shunts the harmonics to ground, 'filtering' them out of the raw rectified signal, and (hopefully) leaving only the DC component with only a small amount of "ripple" energy at the harmonic frequencies.


Advantages of bank capacitor?

Capacitor banks can improve the power factor if the load is leading, which is unusual. Typically in substations capacitor banks are employed to reduce over voltage.
