If the capacitor bank is installed in switchyard say
132/22kv then on LT side say 22kv/0.433kv is it necessary to
install capacitor bank for maintaining power factor. if pf
is maintained on HT side then will that be maintained on LT
side as well.if not then how&why??????/ please
explain...........
Answer Posted / vijaykumarht
The capacitor bank on HT side will anyhow correct the PF,
the line losses will not be reduced. hence by putting the
capacitors on LT side, that too nearer to the load, the
losses and PF can be much better improved. The capacitors on
HT side is just to minimize the line losses, even though it
improves PF putting capacitors on LT side is always
recommended that too nearer to load, so as to get efficient
usage of electricity.
Please not that this answer is only for inductive load
consideration as linelosses and transformers and most of the
loads conneted to the line is inductive.
