How to calculate incomer of a capacitor bank/feeder from its
KVAR,
AND how to calculate the copper busbar for rated incomer,like
for 400A we calculate the 40x10 of aluminum busbar.

Answer Posted / 7anoter4

If the system is three-phase: KVAR=sqrt(3)*Icap[A]
*Volt/1000 then:

Icap=1000*kVAR/Volt/sqrt(3)

If the ambient temperature will remain the same and if
permissible conductor temperature will be the same then
copper bus bar cross section required will be 70%[approx.]
from Aluminum bus bar.
