can we load Power capicitors on DG sets?

Answer Posted / amarnath

YES ! The DG Rating is always defined in KVA @ 0.8 Pf Lag.
Hence for optimum utilization of the DG power, it will be
best to have the PF regulated to 0.8 PF Lag. However, care
must be taken not to let the PF go into LEAD condition as it
can lead to instabilty of the system voltage. Suggest to
conduct a detailed load study and opt for Automatic PF
Improvement Relay panels wherein the DG target PF can be set
@ 0.8 and for EB the target setting can be 0.95 Lag or above
. (definitely not LEAD)
