formula for incomer breaker size calculation of powerfactor
correction unit
Answer Posted / matt
Given a system power factor of 0.9, PFC unit of 50kvar we can work out the following
50/0.9 = 56 A real current
56^2 * 50^2 = 75 A apparent current
Cable capacity - 75 * 1.35 = 100 A
Factor of 1.35 used for over rated capacitors as per
industry standards.
Breaker shall be rated at less than the cable capacity but greater than 75A. Increase cable size to suit breaker breaker sizing if required.

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
