If the capacitor bank is installed in switchyard say
132/22kv then on LT side say 22kv/0.433kv is it necessary to
install capacitor bank for maintaining power factor. if pf
is maintained on HT side then will that be maintained on LT
side as well.if not then how&why??????/ please
explain...........

Answer Posted / kola raju

If the capacitors are installed in the ht side the pf of
the line improves but not the plant.And the plant pf is in
poor condition only which may leads to the losses on our
side and reactive load on the transformer may increase so
even if we have capacitors on ht side it is advaisable to
kept the capacitors on load side also.
