Adding Power Capacitor To HT Line

You would be better off picking up the telephone and talking to capacitor manufacturers directly. I would be surprised if you could justify an improvement of .02 in terms of getting an adequate return on the investment needed to achieve it.

Just use five 60 Hz capacitors.

Or, quit while you're ahead. .98 is about as good as you will get.

As stated by a previous poster, 0.98PF is very good and for anyone to achieve 1 as a PF correction is impossible, 0.98PF is equated to 98% efficiency. To gain a PF of 1, you should switch of fluorescent lights, lightly loaded motors,computers etc. Gaining 0.02% makes no justifiable economic sense

What was your goal figure you had in mind to achieve?

we are going to commissioning a new plant having total connected load 1600KW but we are not connecting capacitor bank across this load

yes we have good power factor around 0.98 with existing connected load 5800kw. but after commissioning the newplant it may chance to go for the poor regulation and effect our pf incentives.

so that we need to add HT capacitor banks to our transmission line

suggest your openion for designing new ht capacitors for existing ht capacitors in transmission lines

thank you
