Why capacitor bank does not require in DG Set?

Answer Posted / tapan

Increasing p.f shall automatically enhance the Kw demand
then its designed value and the alternator shall not be
able to cater this additional Kw and shall trip due to over
current. Hence it is not recommended to install the
capacitors accross the DG set to increase its p.f more then
its designed value.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
