Answer / 7anoter4

Explanation:

Q=Reactive Power in VAR

U-voltage at capacitor terminals[single phase]in Volt

frq=frequency[50 or 60 HZ=cycles/second]

Q=U^2/Xcap Xcap=Capacity reactance [in ohms]=1/(w*Cap)
w=2*pi*frequency

Then Q=U^2*w*Cap or Cap=10^9*Q/(U^2*2*pi*frequency) if Q
is in kVAR and capacity in microFarad.

If U is the line-to-line voltage the same formula is good
for three-phases in Y but Q=3*U^2/Xcap for delta connection.

Answer / 7anoter4

Q=U^2*w*Cap w=2*pi*frq pi=3.14159 [approx.]
w=2*3.14159*50

kVA*1000=440^2*2*3.14159*50*Cap

Cap=12.5*1000/440^2/2/3.14159/50=0.000205.52 F=205.52 microF
