what is the effect if we add capacitor on DG supply, it has
any loss or benefit.

Answer Posted / safeer azam

Capacitors are used to recover the reactive component of
power (part of power utilized for manetization in
windings).It does not matter the source generating the
voltage is Diesel Generator,steam-driven Alternator or any
other source generating A.C supply.Capacitors are always
beneficial on AC supply if the power-factor is maintained
below Unity (using a power-factor regulating relay), on
lagging side.If power-factor is not maintained through
regulating relays then it has the tendency to go on leading
side which means ,over magnetization of windings.
