The power factor is the ratio of voltage to current at
120Deg Phase shift.
Cos phi = KVA/KW
The active power factor in our country will be 0.8 only, ie
only 80% of power consumed and balance is lost due to
various lossed in the distribution system.
To calculate Cap. bank the formula is
KVAR = Power tan (cos phi(ext)-tan cos phi (exp)
where cos phi(ext) - existing power factor & exp is
expecting power factor.
It is not possible to brought to unity powerfactor is
utilising 100% of power to the application. Max. of 95% can
be possible for which the power factor value will be 0.95
After calculating cap. banks, say 100kvar, it can be
seperated like below:
1:1:1:1 (where 1=25kvar)
1:2:1(where 2=50kvar)... and so on.

Sir,In our company there are 3 caterpillar make(capacity:(1) 3.3KV,2.5MW(2)3.3KV,2.5MW & (3)3.3KV,1.9MW) & 1 deutz make (capacity:11KV,3.8MW)gas engines utilised,all are running in paralell. There are three transformer utilised,(1) 6.25MVA,3.3KV/22KV,Impedence voltage:6.7% used for two generator,both are 2.5MW(2)5.5MVA,3.3KV/22KV,Impedence voltage:7.2% used for one generator of 2.5MW & (3) 5.5MVA,11KV/22KV,Impedence voltage:7.8% used for one generator of 2.5MW.all generator breakers capacity of 1250Amps. Sir,I want the details of fault level calculation of generator,transformer individually & for whole system. If you require any information from me.feel free for contact me sir.pl.send the answer of my question as the earliest as possible.
