Power Factor improvement.

07/13/2009 3:39 AM

I want to connect a power factor correcting equipment with my 591 kva diesel Generator to improve its p.f from 0.8 to 0.98. Then what will I have to do?

  1. Turn the generator off and isolate it.
  2. Raise permit-to-work.
  3. Open terminal covers.
  4. Make an entry into the terminal boxes for the cable between the power factor correction equipment and the generator.
  5. Megger-test the cable to ensure its insulation is undamaged.
  6. Gland-off the cable both ends.
  7. Prepare the conductor tails for conenction, both ends.
  8. Attach the conductors to the generator terminals.
  9. Attach the conductors the power factor equipment terminals.
  10. Close terminal covers.
  11. Relinquish permit-to-work.
  12. Remove isolations.
  13. Re-start generator.

Is this the same generator you asked about in a post located about 22 posts below this one?
