Why capacitor bank does not require in DG Set?

Answer Posted / sudip sengupta

DG's are normally designed for P.F. of 0.8 lag. If the P.F.
of the load is more than 0.8, we should not use capacitor
bank as the current draws by the capacitor will increase
the KW demand of the DG. But if the load has P.F. less than
0.8, we can use capacitor bank to improve it to 0.8 or
slightly above.
