I am assuming you want to connect power factor capacitors to distribution transformers but don't know where to start (not that you have a power factor correction panel already designed and supplied and you don't know how to wire it up).

For a specialised distribution application like this you are much better off getting a solution designed and supplied by a power factor capacitor panel supplier.

Do you know how many KVAr of corrective capacitance you need?

Do you know what your load power factors are (including the variation size and rate of change profiles)?

Do you need fast small corrective action, slow large corrective action or somewhere in between?

What's the voltage? etc.

If you don't have answers to all the above questions then you also need to have a proper power factor assessment and design done (randomly putting a bunch of capacitors in is a recipe for disaster).

Also see previous threads on CR4 for more information on the subject.

Consult a specialised installation supplier.
