Is this a motor, or is it a generator? You should look at the nameplate. Generators are typically spec'd at .8 - .9 pf. Motors can run as low as .6pf. A 400hp motor definitely should have this information handy with it.

How does identify the capacitor capacity for 1.5 kw single phase motor?

If the power factor is 0.7 the reactive power equals the real power, so the capacitor should be 1.5 kVAr. That is a reasonable estimate for a small induction motor.


Why would a generator produce high kvar output?

A generator would be forced to produce a high output kVAr if it has a lot of non-linear loads connected to it i.e. fluorescent lighting, switchmode power supplied equipment (PCs, old servers etc).


What is a reverse KVAR relay?

The reverse KVAR relay protects a generator from a loss of excitation. When the excitation system is lost, reactive power will flow from the system back into the generator. When this happens, induced currents at twice the system frequency will flow in the rotor windings and rotor structure.


What happens when capacitor KVAr rating is much bigger than the required rating?

When the capacitor kVAR rating is much larger than required, it can cause overcompensation in the power factor of the system, leading to an overvoltage condition. This can result in increased stress on the capacitor itself, as well as on other components in the system. It is important to properly size capacitors to avoid these issues.


How do you decide KVAR rating of capacitor bank?

Generally the capacitor rating of a bank are decided on the load factor.ie higher the KVAR higher the capacity.KVAR is the reactive power in which load angle differs with the load variation.If we know load factor multiply it by the sine angle which gives us the capacity of the cpapcity of the load bank.

What is the function of the governor of a generator and how exactly is it different from the AVR?

Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) : Depends on the generator output voltage & out put current/Kvar it will change the exciter voltage. Change in excitation voltage controls the reactive power (Kvar). whereas, a Governor controls the fuel supply to primemover(Engine) in order to control the speed of generator, change in speed (rpm) also controls Active power (KW).


What is a kvar?

Kvar = Kilo Volt Amp Reactance.


What is the KVAR if kva is 1750 and kw is 1225?

The KVAR will be 1249.75, the power factor is .7. KVAR = sqrt [ KVA^2 - kW^2 ]
