My load is 15 kw,i want to improve power factor from 0.8 to 0.9,how select capacitor

Answer Posted / abdul rahman

Required capacitor KVAR :- KW X [tan cos (inverse(power factor old = 0.8)))-tan cos (inverse (power factor new = 0.9]

KVAR :- 15(TAN(C0S INVERSE (0.8)-TAN(COS(INVERSE (0.9))
= 15(TAN 36.86-TAN 25.84)
= 15(.75-.48)
= 15(.265)
= 4 KVAR

In a power conditoining unit (inverter) of a solar plant when we measure the d.c. current fed by different strings of solar plates to inverter, the current in the negative wire is less almost by 1 ampere to the current in its positive wire say current in positive wire 5 A , then current in negative wire of the same string is 4 A. Since the current entering should be equal to current leaving then why the current is noticably less in negative wire.
