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.
factors affect the selection of capacitor banks (power factor correctors )
- load in kw
- voltage and frequency
- old power factor
- required power factor
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!
Use of rvt in capacitor bank
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
Cable sizing is based on amperage of the load. The rating of the capacitor bank and the voltage at which it operated need to be stated to give an answer.
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.

It is calculated by knowing what the reactive power is that has to be countered.See related links below.
You need to explain what you mean by '4 mb'.

how to calculate the powerfactor in capacitor
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.
The primary reason for a capacitor bank in an electrical substation is for power factor correction. There may also be some secondary purpose for the capacitor bank but the primary reason is power factor correction.

It doesn't ?
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.
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).
