I hv a question regarding power factor improvement just
after transformer. I request you to reply me plzz. thank
you sir.
My friend has a small unit of fabrication. in his factory
the main load is a welding machine, lathe machine, grinding
machine. this load is not continuous type. now our
electricity board has installed 16 KVA, 11000/433 V
transformer for our factory. In the energy meter (trivector
meter) at LV side of transformer, i hv seen power factor
value of 0.15 only when only 3 KW load was flowing. Further
electricity board has suggested to install 4 KVAR capacitor
at LV side after energy meter. Now my question is that if
we permanantly install and switch on 4 KVAR capacitor after
energy meter, during some load on transformer and also
without any load on transformer, wht will be the power
factor shown in energy meter?i dont want to get any penalty
by electricity board, so plz suggest me if i can
permanantly install and switch on the 4 kvar capacitor or
not at LV side of transformer just after energy meter?
Thank you again and awaiting for ur positive reply soon.

how capacitors connected in parallel to each phase i.e
R,Y,B giving a resultant of 4 KVAR become a self load at
noload time of transformer and increase the electricity
bill.......... please explain in detail......waiting

i want to apper for apgenco or aptransco or related can any one sugest me where can i get previous papers of thouse exams
We need to current density & short circuit calculation at 65kA for aluminium & copper busbar.
I need the recommended size for a 3 phase transformer at 13.8 KV Primary and connected loads of 3000 kVA at 4200 volts and 2375 kVA @ 480 volts AC.
With a phasor diagram show the effect of increasing the field current of a generator supplying a constant real power and connected to a grid system.
A well system is when , no. of bus bar is less or more. Tell me the concept of it.
Whar is the KvA rating of 33Kv substation & actual kv rating of power generaating station.
what is a reactive power? what is the relation with power factor?
1))why we run three phase or three different circuit from a single conduit 2)) why not two circuit of different phase run in same conduit?? and why we run same three cicuit of same phae run in single conduit??
