Answer / 7anoter4

Explanation:

Q=Reactive Power in VAR

U-voltage at capacitor terminals[single phase]in Volt

frq=frequency[50 or 60 HZ=cycles/second]

Q=U^2/Xcap Xcap=Capacity reactance [in ohms]=1/(w*Cap)
w=2*pi*frequency

Then Q=U^2*w*Cap or Cap=10^9*Q/(U^2*2*pi*frequency) if Q
is in kVAR and capacity in microFarad.

If U is the line-to-line voltage the same formula is good
for three-phases in Y but Q=3*U^2/Xcap for delta connection.

Answer / 7anoter4

Q=U^2*w*Cap w=2*pi*frq pi=3.14159 [approx.]
w=2*3.14159*50

kVA*1000=440^2*2*3.14159*50*Cap

Cap=12.5*1000/440^2/2/3.14159/50=0.000205.52 F=205.52 microF

We have a 33/11kv switchyard having 12.5 MVA power transformer. We export & import power through this transformer. When we export power, the PF will be depend on GRID PF & when we import power the PF will be depend on our load PF. but the problem is that,when neither we export nor import but our 33KV vCB is in close position,our meter read the power factor 0.14 to 0.25 at that moment. So how can be we improve the power factor at that moment.
