How to calculate PF capactors for a connected load?..

Answer / ramji

First calculate the actual KVAR load.Then calculated the
actual PF.Then as per required PF, calculate the KVAR to be
added.This is the value of capacitor bank to be shunted.

How to calculate PF capactors for a connected load?..

Answer / g parsaram reddy

capacitor bank selection base on the connected load

ex - 500kw load formula is kvar = kw ( tan cos-1pf) - (tan cos-1pf)there is power factor taken lower and higher valu , ex2 kvar= 250(tan cos-1 0.8)- (tan cos-1 0.96)step2 kvar=250(tan36.36-tan16.26) than 250(0.74-0.29) than250(0.45)than kvar=114.5this is required

( Re: WHAT SHOULD BE THE RATING OF MCCB FOR 415V,3Ph,50KVAR CAPACITOR BANK Answer # 1 The capacitor current would be kvar x 1000 / (415 x sqrt3). This would be 70a approx. The MCCB selected should have *atleast 1.4 times this current i.e. 1.4 x 70= 98. So you should choose at least 100 A mccb.) regarding to this answer,i would like to know why the current have to times 1.4 to get the right amphere for the mccb.hows the formula to get the 1.4??tq

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase), before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
