How will you design a capacitor bank for a plant? if my p.f
is 0.6 i have to improve it to 0.9 or 1 what kind of steps i
have to do? and is there any formula for calculating this?

Answer Posted / joel q.

You must add a capacitor bank. you can determine the size
of the capacitor to be added using the following formula.

KVAR = KW*Tan((arccos0.6) -(Arccos0.9))
