Answer / srinivasa rao talasila
There is a formula to calculate capacity of capacitor
required for a certain inductive load in KW
KVAR=KW*(Tan of running PF angle-Tan of desired PF angle)
Per suppose my plant is running 0.84 i need to take it to
0.98 at a load of 800KW
KVAR=800*(Tan 32.86-Tan 11.48)
KVAR=800*(0.6459-0.2030)
KVAR=800*0.4429
=354.32 say 355KVAR

Can transformer develop three phase power from a single phase source?
why it is mentioned as 8/10 mva transformer why not directly 8mva or 10mva transformer. please explain me the full detailed reason.

in a dc shunt motor what happens if motor takes high current,no speed
Which phase is prefered for connecting 1phase vt used for synchronism in an OHL? why?
Why 11KV PT Secondaries [(11000/1.732)/(110/1.732)/ (110 / 3)]are in star connection ? And why the same should not be in delta ?
List some examples of renewable energy?
whenever any squirrel or a crow falls on the transformer input line then there is a big explosion and 440 volts of power is being discharged through the neutral line due to which appliances in off mode are also burned.we have earthing for the transformer as well as the bus bar chamber.why is it happening?
what is mean by tan-delta tap in the potential transformer??
why scott connection is done why not two phases are directly picked at the output of 3 phase transformer??
