explain me how a power factor is improved by adding a
capacitor?what capacitor do to improve it?in simple words
and in detail?thx

Answer Posted / viswanathan

we are using induction motors for industrial and domestic
purpose.inductions motors working with reactive power.it
leads to lagging power factor.so we put the capacitor
(active power)for compensat the reactive power.

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
