Cos φ-compensatie is een aanpassingsmethode waarmee de faseverschuiving in een elektrische installatie tot een aanvaardbare waarde wordt teruggebracht. Men noemt dit het verbeteren of het compenseren van de arbeidsfactor. Zo'n compensatie wordt tegenwoordig bijna altijd uitgevoerd met condensatoren, die tot een condensatorenbatterij worden samengesteld.
