Best Answer

Capacitors are used to improve an inductive load's power factor towards unity. The power factor before and after adding the capacitor bank depends entirely on the inductive/capacitive values involved.

when lagging Power Factor changes to leading PF, then the voltage across the circuit in which capacitor bank is connected, is increased.

How can fluctuation in power factor be improved in single operating generator due to change in loads?

Power factor correction is normally done with a single capacitor bank. If the PF fluctuates due to a change in load, the best solution is to design and fit power factor correction capacitors at each individual reactive load that may start or stop during normal operation. Connect the PF correction directly accross the load, such that when the starter or disconnect is open, the load AND the capacitor is removed from the line, and when the disconnect is closed, both the load AND the PF capacitor is energized. Continuous loads can still be bulk-corrected with a capacitor bank, this will minimize the number of individual correction capacitors you will have to design. If properly done, your PF can be made to be very stable, with little change as the load varies.

What does a capacitance meter do?

A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.


Why capacitor bank using reeactor?

Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.


How do you calculate Kwh saving after installing capacitor bank?

Adding a capacitor bank makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the amount of energy consumed (in kilowatt hours). The capacitor bank might reduce the load current, but this does not affect the amount of energy consumed. Anyone who tries to sell you a 'capacitor bank' in order to save you energy is selling a SCAM!


What is the unit of measure of capacitor?

Capacitors are measured in Farads or microfarads.
