why capacitor bank always connected in delta,why not in star to a system?..

Answer / biswajit goswami

star connected capacitor bank draw less current than delta connection, when we connect the capacitor bank in star connection in 3 phase circuit it reduce less reactive current than connected in delta ,so delta connected capacitor bank is more effective,so we connect capacitor bank in delta connection.

hi arvind,

my friend i agree to you when you questioned the use of high
impedance in the system but don't you know that capacitor
only offers capacitive reactance which mean impedance is 0+jXc.

Answer / karthik

delta connection is series effective whereas star is
parallel effective..but i am not sure about the impedence fact
