What is the diffrece between CAPACITOR BANK & CAPACITOR OF
MOTOR?

Answer Posted / badmalia rajesh

Actully capacitor bank is used for power system power
factor improvement. that contains theree capacitor of large
capacity conneted in either star or in delta connection.
While capacitor used in motor is not of that moch big
capacity the used for starting of single phase induction
motor and for their quit operation. The capacitor used in
motor is generally single phase.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
