Power factor (PF) is calculated and PF=cos(phi) where phi is the phase angle of the current running through a load. To find the phase angle of the current, one must know the voltage drop across the load and the total impedance (capacitance + resistance) of the load and then use Ohm's Law to find the current. The total impedance of a capacitor is 1/(j*w*C) where j = sqrt(-1), w = 2*pi*f (f = frequency), and C is the capacitance.
To find the correct value of capacitance for a PF of 0.9 lag, you need to know the total impedance of the load which includes the value of the resistance and the configuration of the load (parallel, series, or some combination).

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!
What is the correct cable size for the 550 KVAR capacitor bank?
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.
What is the use of rvt in capacitor bank?
Use of rvt in capacitor bank
What is the purpose of connecting capacitor bank in series with 220 kv feeders?
A: Its purpose is to correct the power factor of the line.
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.
Purpose of capacitor bank on a sub-station electrical room?
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.

What method improve power factor?
The most common method of improving the power factor of a load is to connected a capacitor or capacitor bank, of appropriate reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes), in parallel with the load.
