	Hi, dear I think you are asking about Power Factor Improvement capacitor selection. rating of capacitors is in KVAr, and we can select capacitor according to our connected load, current power factor and required pawor factor. fell free for any clarification Regards, rizwanad@gmail.com

	How big is your PCC panel.? What is the total load connected to your PCC panel.? What are the load that connected to your PCC panel.? What is the incoming Voltage of your PCC panel.? What is the total current consumption of your PCC panel.? __________________ Management is just like a bunch of Monkey sitting on a tall tree.

	Actually we have very old set up of power distribution & capacitor bank installed at different location of loads. Incoming supply at 11KV receiving on VCB to X'mer & set down to 415V LT breakers. Our maximum load is 4MW & connected load is 6MW. Kindly clarify in details about selection of capacitor as per above load.

	Contact the original equipment manufacturer and obtain a 1:1 replacement. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Seriously, stop trying to save 5 cents & go & ask a consultant. There are far too many unknowns in your question/situation in order to be able to safely & satisfactorily answer your question on the internet. __________________ "If you try to keep a leg each side of a barbed-wire fence, you'll do yourself a mischief." - Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
