What is the method to calculate the capacitor bank rating
for say 50 KW load and how do we connect each capacitor to
busbar??

Answer Posted / vijay kumar

Actually motors are designed at 0.8pf.
50kw load means 50/0.8 kva i.e to 62.5 kva
we know that kvar=kva*sin(angle b/w V & I)
To take Power factor to Unity we need Kvar=62.5*0.6
=37.5 kvar

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 3 No
