How can we calculate the rating of capacitor bank to be connected for a particular load(ex.100kw)t..

Answer / suneetha

The rating of capacitor bank is in kvar.Kvar rating can be
found out by power traingle.
active power=100kw
let the angles corresponding to power factors .8 and .9 be
A1 and A2 respectively
then reactive power required to improve the power factor
=100sin(A1)-100sin(A2)

Answer / mandeep singh

its.....kvar =capacitor bank 2 b installed,p=100kw,

kvar1=ptan(cosinverse 0.8),kvar2=ptan(cosinverse0.9)
kvar=kvar1-kvar2
