to improve the existing power factor whether capacitors
have to be added in series or parallel.and why

Answer / ramesh pachamal
The capacitor must be connected in parrallel tothe load.
The capasitive reactance value will be add in parallel. The
Power factor is dependsup the capasitive reactance.To give
lead power factor the value of capasitance should be more.
For the reason we add capacitance connecting parallel

as we all know that the capacitor takes the leading current
thus the total current taken by the device also have a
leading current....as generally our load is inductive in
nature, which takes the lagging current, thus the
capacitive current also compensate the lagging current
causing the powert factor to improve

Answer / shahulsnfa
the capacitors should be connected parallel to the load,
then only for both the cycles of ac supply it provides
leading power factor, or else only one half cycle of the
supply power factor is improved.

Hi Everyone ! My Name is Hakim ullah khan please i need formula of Cable Rating because i want to calculate by self without check any Table Chart... Thank you.....
length of 4 core cable 95mm from substation LV VFD panel to Motor at field approximately 150 meter. Motor stop and power has been isolated from LV MCC ( Substation )to disconnect Motor for services. After Motor completed service propose to reinstall and reconnect Motor Cable, found earth cable sparkling during touching at metal / motor body. Inspect by clamp meter found earth cable have current flow AC 1-2amps and all earth cable at MCC LV also have current flow as same value. why it is happen?
