How to calculate KW saving for power factor correction from
0.92 to 0.98 at 350KW load?

Answer Posted / engr mimkhan

IF your system losses is 5 %
Then loss reduction =1- (squr(.92)/squr(.98))
=0.13
=0.13 x 0.05 (5%)
=0.0065
Thus saving in kw =0.0065 x 350
=2.27 kw
This is your saving if system losses increase than kw saving will also increase..
Note squr mean Squre not root.
