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

Answer Posted / nilesh kumar singh

Power Factor is defined as the ratio of Real power and
Apparent power.

for calculating Capacitor bank value the formula is :

kVAr = KW {tan(cos^-1 Phi e) - tan(Cos^-1 Phi d)}

Where - Phi e = existing Power Factor.
Phi d = Desired Power Factor.
