can we load Power capicitors on DG sets?
Answer Posted / jigar shah
Capacitor requirement arises to effective utilization of
the generated power (to reduce the losses mainly-cu losses
& line losses) & all switchgear component.In general
practice Capacitors are not connected on DG Set.As per my
understanding following are the main reasons for which it
is not recommendation to run capacitors on DG set :
1. During no load condition capacitor will try to increase
the voltage level of genrated voltage which can damage the
insulation of wdg & wdg may get burnt
2. With increase in PF we will not ge much advantage as the
cable losses are negligle.Load is in nearest proximity of
the Equipment.
3. Capacitors can be installed at load side

1- XC and the RC time constant are both measures of the reaction of C to a change in ____? 2-The power factor is a numerical ratio with a value between 0 and 1 equal to the ______________ of the phase angle. 3-When V and I are out of phase because of reactance, the product of V times I is called ______________ power 4-For _____________ inductors, the branch currents can be added algebraically. 5- The ______________ power in watts can be calculated as I^2R 6-Calculate XL with L = 30mH and f = 1kHz ( I have Xl=2piFL 2*3.141592653*1kHz*30mH =188 ohms Please check) 7-A parallel RL circuit has the values, R = 5kohms, XL = 5kohms. A voltage source of Vt = 10Vrms is connected in parallel to R and L. Determine the total current, It delivered by the voltage source Vt. 8-A series RC circuit has R = 1Mohm and C = 1microF. How long would it take for the capacitor to fully discharge if it is initially fully charged? 9-A circuit has real power = 300W and an apparent power of 500VA. Determine the power factor and phase angle. 10-The time constant for an LR series circuit is T = 0.1s and R = 10ohms. Calculate the inductance L.
