what is pf. how to calculate capacitor bank value to
maintain unity pf.

Answer Posted / sm

pf is the cosine of the angle b/w voltage phasor and current phasor. To maintain unity feedback the capacitor bank value should be such that it compensates the inductive reactance value in circuit i.e., X becomes zero. Thus, the circuit becomes purely resistive and pf is unity.

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
