Why capacitor bank does not require in DG Set?

Answer Posted / kishor kajrolkar

It is possible to switch on high speed microprocessor
based capacitor bank on running d g set.But with A P F C
ie. contactor based can be used with time delay So as it
will result in zero voltage available on terminal of the
capacitor.( during switching of said capacitor bank on
running generator).However one must think of no load
condition of the d g set so as to use sensitive steps for
capacitor in the circuit.It is observed most of the load
in IT sector having non linear loads ,hence result in
impure power as well as low powerfactor leads to additional
loads.Capacitor used to filter harmonic current and change
of the power factor need to classified before application
the bank.
