---- Capacitor banks used to improve power factor(lagging) of a circuit:: This is necessary since it causes saving in power and electricity bill in following ways: 1) As p.f rises, circuit currnt decreases and hence I2R losses reduce 2) Var consumption reduces There is no tool provided here to draw the ckt diagram:: U take on PFC(power factor correction bus), then connect switch fuse, then HRC fuse, then Contactor, then overload relay and finally the capacitor bank

Advantages of bank capacitor?
Capacitor banks can improve the power factor if the load is leading, which is unusual. Typically in substations capacitor banks are employed to reduce over voltage.
Why are capacitors required to be in capacitor banks?
Capacitor banks are used to control the power factor in a power system. By connecting suitable capacitors the power factor can be controlled / maintained at a desired level. The requirement of a capacitor changes as the load changes dynamically. The same amount of capacitors can not maintain the desired power factor all the time. To be able to connect only the required number of capacitors, multiple (bank of capacitors) capacitors are included in a system. An automatic controller senses the actual power factor and connects and disconnects the capacitors from the bank as required
What is the use of rvt in capacitor bank?
Use of rvt in capacitor bank
How do you calculate Kwh saving after installing capacitor bank?
Adding a capacitor bank makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the amount of energy consumed (in kilowatt hours). The capacitor bank might reduce the load current, but this does not affect the amount of energy consumed. Anyone who tries to sell you a 'capacitor bank' in order to save you energy is selling a SCAM!
How many current drawn in 400 kvar capacitor bank?
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
Why capacitor bank using reeactor?
Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.

What are the ways the central bank can control the activities of the commercial bank?
explain four ways in which the central bank esercises control over commercial banks
What is the role of central bank?
The role of the central bank is to control all local banks in a country.
How does the central banks control the interest rate?
Central banks control interest rates by altering the repo rate. Repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the central bank. So if the central bank hikes the repo rate, the banks will automatically hike their lending rates. similarly if the central bank reduces the repo rate, banks will lower their lending rates too.

How central bank of nigeria controls other commercial banks?
central bank control other bank by giving them loan and it debited their account.
Why is the central bank called the bank of banks?
why bank called bank of all banks
