As a General Thumb rule (Approx):

Capacitor Rated kVAr


Capacitor Current, I (FLC) =
1.732 x kV

Capacitor Current (415V) = 1.391 x Capacitor kVAr rating

SCPD for Capacitor unit (415V) = ≥2 x Capacitor kVAr rating

SCPD = Short circuit Protection Device (SFU / Circuit Breaker (MCB / MCCB / ACB))
