We have 250 KVAR cacitor bank & our average load is 200kva
but our power factor is average 0.66 how can we maintane
it? how can we balance our load?

Answer Posted / khalidshaikh

A CONSUMER HAVING TOTAL INSTALLED CAPACITY OR DEMAND UP TO
200 KVA. THE CONSUMER ARRANGED 250 KVAR CAPACTOR BANK, I
THINK CONSUMER IS MISS GUIDED OR HIS CONNECTION POINT IS AT
FOR DISTANCE FROM THE SUPPLY SOURCE, WHERE HE RECEIVE
DROPED VOLTAGE AND HIS LOAD IS TOTALLY INDUCTIVE WHICH
DECREASES POWER FACTOR. OR LEADING POWER FACTOR WHICH
CAUSES ALSO LINE LOSSES.
IT IS SUGGESTED THAT CONSUMER GOT INSTALL KVARH METER AND
KWH METER WITHOUT CAPACITOR BANK IN CIRCUIT THAN AFTER A
CERTAIN OBSERVATION TIME GOT CALCULAT POWER FACOR AND
ARRANGE FOR THE REQUIRED VALUE CAPACITOR BANK.
THANKS
