Best Answer

Normal power is the multiplication of current to combination of resistive and reactive or capacitive load. From the vector sum of Apparent power minus real power we can get reactive power(KVAr), which is basically lagging power due to reactive load. This will be the exact rating of capacitor bank. You can find it by cos $ of apparent power.

- load in kw

- voltage and frequency

- old power factor

- required power factor

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 you calculate the resistance of a capacitor?

There's nothing to calculate. Until it fails and must be replaced, the resistance ofa capacitor is infinite. A measurement with a typical ohmmeter will show that thecapacitor is open.


How can be determined the rating of capacitor bank?

If you are talking about a capacitor bank used for power-factor improvement, then it is rated in reactive volt amperes (var). Otherwise, it is rated in farads (F).
