can we load Power capicitors on DG sets?

Answer Posted / reshi

Not at all ,Since DG sets are already generating the rated
voltage required and the designed power factor. For the
sake of discussion if we agree to install the capacitor on
DG sets it will give rise to the overvoltage and the
nearest downstream equipments are most probably not safe by
this option of having the capacitor on the DG sets.
Capacitors are required when the power factor is required
to improve and the best practice is it shall be installed
as close possible to the load.

I have a relay contact rated at 220v dc which is supplied with a 24vdc from the panel,for it to trip the dampers(24vdc).What if the application of the relay changes so that it should work at its rated 220vdc then will it work at 24vdc supply given or any other consideration needs to be taken .....
