Why capacitor bank does not require in DG Set?

Answer Posted / tapan

Increasing p.f shall automatically enhance the Kw demand
then its designed value and the alternator shall not be
able to cater this additional Kw and shall trip due to over
current. Hence it is not recommended to install the
capacitors accross the DG set to increase its p.f more then
its designed value.
