As mentioned before that these calculated values are theoretical but for practical
application and due to the wide variation of motor loads and consequently the
alteration of power factor and motors efficiency, therefore we have to choose
appropriate values for the power factor and the efficiency to get a wide range of
P.F. correction starting form P.F. 0.77 and the efficiency about 70 %, therefore:
652 0.35

The nearest standard of capacitor bank is 350 KVAR (7 steps x 50 KVAR) for
both sides.
The configuration of the proposed capacitor bank for one section is shown in Fig.
(2).
