Power factor in industries can be improved by using
capacitor banks

Answer / pillay

The PF is low because of inductive load. You can improve IT by adding capacitive load. Luckily cap load is loss free.That means you dont pay kwh for it but you must buy and maintain the capacitor and on and off it as necessary at the right amount.
One way to know how much you need, is you must know the load in KW and the pf.
assuming the load is 500 kw and the PF is 0.6 and you want to improve it to 0.95. you can find out the kva demands at this two pf levels
500/0.6=833kva . 500/0.95=526 kva, 833 kva -526kva =307kva

If you add 307kvar into the system in paralel you would improve the pf to 0.95 you can divide this into 8 steps of 40 KVAR each connected accros the 3 phases through an auto PF regulator.Your cap on each step will be rated as 40 kvar at 415 volts (rated voltage) 3 PHASE.

I welcome any improvements or comment about this.

Answer / amit biswas

inddustries mostly use static variable compensation (SVC)
technique for pf improvment.

Nowwhy dose pf drops? Due to inductive loads(eg.due to
arcing furnaces)

what SVC scheme dose is it proptionatly increases
captcitacne with inc. inductance or vice versa.

also using syc. motors can improve pf
(remember sync. motor is also called sync. condensor)

Answer / edy

Let say the load 500kw and u wanna increase ur power factor
from 0.6 to 0.95

500 (Tan 1-Tan 2)-u can use complex calculator to convert
from cos to tan
500 (1.33-0.32)
505kvar

u can set it with 6 step
505/6
84kvar and make it 80kvar each step

what is the necessary of using inductance property in transmission lines even through resistance is used to opposes the high current flows in that?????

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase, before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
