In industries Power factor is maintained by installing a suitable KVAR bank, How is the PF maintai..

Answer / bijay

For domestic supply ( 1 Phase) the PF variation is
comparatively low.
It is maintained at 0.95 by the Supply authority
(electricity board).
Capacitor Bank is located at the main
receiving/Distribution Station.

Answer / raj

MAIN THING THE PF IS MAINTAIN FOR INDUCTIVE LOADS . IN
DOMESTIC WE HAVING THE RESISTIVE LOADS . BUT IN WE USING
FAN MOTORS AND SINGLE PHASE MOTORS ETC WE KNOW IN EVERY
SINGLE PHASE MOTOR WE CONNECT THE CAPACITOR IN SERIES OR
PARELLEL.SO PF IS MAINTAINING.

We have two Al.busbars each of size 125mm*10 mm connected in parallel.To increase the current rating ,can we connect third busbar of size 100mm*10mm in parallel to existing two busbars?In my opinion ,if we connect busbars of different sizes in parallel,then the busbar of lowest size will take much current.So this type of paralleling should be avoided .Am I correct?
