Answer / gajanan
is it capacitor bank?
capacitor bank used in industries to improve power factor
value.
when load is inductive power factor is lagging
and in case of capactive load power factor is leading.
so for the industrial load which is inductive we use
capacitor bank so as to improve power factor near unity

Answer / luke
Its a capacitor bank .
Capacitor banks are used to compensate for the reactive loads which causes low power factor.In industries value below 0.9 are imposed with penalty.So for inductive loads and Harmonic compensation capacitor banks are connected to improve the Pf.
loads include
Ups
Inverters
Air conditioners
Motors
Arc furnaces etc
Kvar value for compensation can be found by
KW X correction factor
(calculate KW from your MD)
