why we connect the capacitor bank in star , not in delta in
any system













































Answer Posted / nishant2110

You are mistaken my friend,

Most of the time, we use DELTA capacitor bank in parallel to
the line to improve pf.

Actually
1. Delta connection provides 3 times more reactive power(kVAR)
than star.
2. less heat loss in delta
3. less triplen harmonic in delta

force to use delta over star capacitor bank.


Allthough, there are few instances where we use ungrounded
star connection but that is very rare.

how does the terminal voltage of transmission lines increase when a capacitor is connected???? This happens not only in transmission lines but also in all circuits. How??? When a capacitor is connected in a transmission line, capacitor also takes energy from the same supply. But how is it able to increase the terminal voltage??? Practically What sequence of events happen during increase in voltage???
