Capacitor Selection, APFC

11/09/2005 7:03 AM

Sanjay Katkade writes:
Hi everybody
Can you tell me about the selection of capacitors for my electrical system? I have a 625 KW load, 415VAC, 50Hz supply. The load is calculated by taking standard PF i.e. 0.8, which is applicable for all induction motors I have selected (As it is new system, I can't measure actual wattage and current drawn by system). I want to connect the unit at distribution board.

Please tell me what will be the KVAR required and how many 30 KVAR, 3 phase, capacitor banks will be required for the above load? or suggest any other capacity of capacitor banks.

Regards,

Sanjay

Hi. I used to work at GE Power Capacitors. Contact John Cozzens at john.cozzens@ge.com. He's a darn good capacitor engineer and should be able to help you. Tell him Steve gave you his name. Good Luck.
