We have a 12MW power plant & we inject 5-6MW power to
Orissa GRID. For this we have a 33KV/11KV switch yard
having 12.5MVA power transformer. Some times we draw power
during emergency. It is observed that during Export or
Import for load less than 500Kw the power factor is
decreasing to 0.3 . This is happening only during export or
import. During island condition TG power factor OK.Our
capacitor bank is provided with our Power plant auxilliary
load. Please suggest how I can we improve our power factor
during low load (GRID).

Answer / velusamy
This problem can be solved by switching off all capacitor
banks during low load. we have faced Similar type of
problem in our cement plant loads which are fluctuating in
nature which causes export / import of power fluctuation(
loads go +500kw and - 500kw withing 1 or two seconds).
The main reason for this low power factor is due to
reactive power consumption of your 12.5 MVA power
transformer.

Answer / k.prakashchandra
During export, it may be possible to improve pf with
excitation.The low pf may also be attributed to erroneous
measurement by CT's at very low loads.Tr may also contribute
to low pf to some extent depending on positions of pf meter
and capacitor bank .

What is the difference between XLPE & FRLS cables? Is FRLS cables is a type of XLPE cable or both r different?
i heard that power factor(PF) is the main concern for industries, if they are maintaining PF around 0.6 they will be fined for that. now the question is, how can they improve the PF ranging between 0.9 to 0.95 which is safe for them i,e escaping from the fine?
1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
