how to calculate the capacitor rating for improving power
factor
Answer Posted / engr. tariq
Formula :
C = P (tan|old - tan| new) divided by Omega (w) and then
divided by Voltage (RMS) or Vrms.
theta (|) can be calculated by knowing cos theta OR power
factor. Example PF is 0.77 then Cos theta = 0.77 and Cos
inverse (0.77) = 39.646 = Theta OLD. Now
Now if i want to improve PF to 0.9 then theta = Cos inverse
0.99 = 25.841 = theta New.
After calculating theta put it in the Given formula to
calculate Capacitance required.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
