The correct method for PFC is to calculate how much correct you need.
If you know the PF and Pd of a motor being used on average, and want to improve to 90%p.f. then compute then angle of PF before and after from theta=cos^-1(PF) then take difference in tan (theta) * Pd
Good to Know:
Important formulas which is used for Power factor improvement calculation as well as used in the above calculation
Power in Watts
kW = kVA x Cosθ
kW = HP x 0.746 or (HP x 0.746) / Efficiency … (HP = Motor Power)
kW = √ ( kVA2– kVAR2)
kW = P = VI Cosθ … (Single Phase)
kW = P =√3x V x I Cosθ … (Three Phase)
Apparent Power in VA
kVA= √(kW2+ kVAR2)
kVA = kW/ Cosθ
Reactive Power in VA
kVAR= √(kVA2– kW2)
kVAR = C x (2 π f V2)
Power factor (from 0.1 to 1)
Power Factor = Cosθ = P / V I … (Single Phase)
Power Factor = Cosθ = P / (√3x V x I) … (Three Phase)
Power Factor = Cosθ = kW / kVA … (Both Single Phase & Three Phase)
Power Factor = Cosθ = R/Z … (Resistance / Impedance)
XC = 1/ (2 π f C) … (XC = Capacitive reactance)
IC = V/ XC … (I = V / R)
Required Capacity of Capacitor in Farads/Microfarads
C = kVAR / (2 π f V2) in microfarad
Required Capacity of Capacitor in kVAR
kVAR = C x (2 π f V2)

Dear all: Recently we got a question about Interface between PMS and SAP-PM.once we got a update message from PMS.we should set the deletional flag for functional location in SAP system.Is there any FM or BAPI to use?There are only functional location create and change provided by SAP. Best regards!
