Answer / kuppuswamy

PF = KW/KVA That is power factor = True power divided by
Apparent power.
If you want to increase the PF in generator, you have to
adjust the speed and voltage to bring to the required PF.
If you want to increase PF in industrial load, you have to
go for adding the capacitor banks in the line side.

Answer / satheeshramesh

If u wish to increase the P.F from 0.8 to 0.99 u have to
add capacitor banks.
Capacitor rating required (kVAR) =kW(tanØ1-tanØ2)

Cos Ø1 = 0.8, Ø1 = cos-1 (0.8), tan Ø1 = .
Cos Ø2 = 0.99, Ø2 = cos-1 (0.99),tan Ø2 = .

Answer / at

if you want to increase the power factor from 0.8 to 0.99
then in that case for

1. Generators:- you will have to increase the excitation
when generator is connected in an interconnected system
i.e. Many generators operating in parallel / or connected
to grid. increasing the excitation gives a leading power
factor and under excited generated draws lagging power
factor power.

2. When it is the case of Industries or other utilities
consuming electrical energy. one should know that all loads
consuming power are 99.99% inductive loads.Thus by adding a
capacitor bank of suitable rating shall be required to
compensate the lagging power factor.

in a solar power plant,we are going to step up the voltage 350V to 33kv, and to 132kv GSS. i want to ask that if it is possible that 315v/33kv is not possible because we also use 315v/11kv. or it should be 415v/33kv? is it effects generation or losses?  the second question is-generation is depends on LV winding? or LV winding design for generation voltage?

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
