If the load is 10Kw and power factor has to improve from 0.5
to 0.8,how can we select the capacitor rating
accordingly.Illustrate by showing formula?

Answer Posted / prakash g.r.

Calculation of Required Kvar

Initial or Present Power Factor =Qi,
Required Power Factor = Qd

KVAr= KW(TANQi-TANQd)

Qi=COS-1PFi = Initial Power Factor Angle

Qd=COS-1PFd = Final Power Factor Angle

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 0 No
