How can we calculate the rating of capacitor bank to be
connected for a particular load(ex.100kw)to improve the
power factor from 0.8 to 0.9?

Answer Posted / ravikumar

kvar=kw(1.732) (TAN PHI1-TAN PHI2)
HERE PHI1=0.8
PHI2=0.9

THIS IS THE FORMULA REF; powersystems v.k. mehata

we have earthmat at 110KV substation.we would like to take earth resistance.b some says that by connecting earth megger terminals (C1,P1) at middile point of earthmat (at riser) will cause voltage gradient at other earthmat nods and dont get exat earth resistance.when connecting at end nods will get exat value . is it correct .please explain
