Power capacitors provide many benefits:

Qc = 305.45 kVAR
a) Non Inductive Lighting Load: 50.00 kW For power factor correction enter below data: • Reduced electric utility bills
b) Inductive Lighting Load: 100.00 kW Initial pf value Pf(1) = 0.800 Ø1 = 36.869° • Increased system capacity
c) Inductive Motor Load: 100.00 kW Improve pf value Pf(2) = 0.950 Ø2 = 18.194° • Improved voltage
d) Mechanical HVAC Load: 500.00 kW • Reduced losses

Qo = 543.75 kVA(Before)
e) For Mechanical Pump Load: 25.00 kW Qc = Pa ( tan Ø1 - tan Ø2 )
f) Power / Outlet Load: 20.00 kW Qc = 725 ( Tan 36.869° - Tan 18.194° )

80%
g) Other types of Load: 56.00 kW Qc = 725 ( 0.75 - 0.3286 )

Qn = 238.29 kVAR(After)
Qc = 305.45 kVAR (Corrected)
Total Summary of Load (a+b+c+d+e+f+g): 851.00 kW
Summary of Inductive Load (a+b+c+d+e): 725.00 kW

Enter Data Below:
So = Po/pf1 Sn = Po/pf2 Voltage: 400 Volts
So = 725 / 0.8 Sn = 725 / 0.95 Frequency: 60 Herts
So = 906.25 kVA(Before) Sn = 763.15 kVA(After)
P = 725 kW
Qo = Po (Tan Ø1) Qn = Po (Tan Ø2) Co= Qo / (2πf) x ( V² ) Figure 1
Qo = 725 (Tan 36.869°) Qn = 725 (Tan 18.194°) Co = 543.7 / ( 376.99 x 400²) SAMPLE INTERNAL DIAGRAM FOR CAPACITOR BANK
Qo = 543.75 kVA(Before) Qn = 238.29 kVAR(After) Co = 0.00906438 Farad

So² = Po² + Qo² Sn² = Po² + Qn² Cn= Qn / (2πf) x ( V² )

So² = 725² + 543.75² Sn² = 725² + 238.29² Cn = 238.2 / ( 376.99 x 400²)
So = 906.25 kVA Sn = 763.15 kVA Cn = 0.00393339 Farad

Qo² = So² - Po² Qn² = Sn² - Po² Cc= Qc / (2πf) x ( V² )

Qo² = 906.25² - 725² Qn² = 763.15² - 725² Cc = 305.4 / ( 376.99 x 400²)
Qo = 543.75 kVAR Qn = 238.29 kVAR Cc = 0.00503099 Farad
