how can we calculate that how much capacitor is needed for
a system to increase the pf?

Answer Posted / wasifkhan2010@yahoo.com

KVAR =KW(tanQ1 - tanQ2)

where

KW= load of installation
tanQ1 = current power factor
tanQ2= target power factor

in thisway we can calculate KVAR of capacitor that how much
KVAR have to be improved.
