if the power factor is .88 i want to increase the power
factor to .99 what number of capacitor is to add?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The kVAR of capacitors necessary to raise the power factor to
0.99 from 0.88 is found by using formula referenced above:
0.398 x 50 kW = 20kVAR
this also depends on at what load are we used
