This will depend on your load. If your load has a total VAR requirement of 200k, then you should look at capacitors that will supply near that amount of VARs. Note the actual capacitance will differ depending on the voltage you're connecting to. Also you don't want to purchase too much, which will just push your power factor in the opposite direction too far. You need to look at your load profile, and size for minimal load, confirm this keeps maximum load within your desired pf, and if it doesn't you'll have to add some automated switching of the caps.
What else can I help you with?
How select the rating of capacitor with respect to KW for improving power factor?
The capacitors must be sized according to the reactive power being used, not the real power being used, to improve power factor.
Can the capacitor be inserted in series in order to improve the power factor?
In a circut we use capacitor in series for improving power factor
Why does a capacitor improve power factor?
yes power capacitar ust inprove the power factor and sae the kvah reding
What is the technique of improve the power factor?
Simple technique by adding PP capacitor with automatic power factor controller.
Can capacitor increase low voltage to high voltage?
yes a capacitor can improve voltage by improving power factor
Can you use capacitor for diesel generator set in running condition?
DG set is designed for 0.8 lag power factor. if it fall below this, we can used proper rating capacitor to improve this. what happens if we run the DG at .6 pf
What is characteristic of power factor in capacitor?
Power factor characteristic in a capacitor is a measurement of how efficiently a capacitor uses electrical energy.
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.
What effect a capacitor has on a supply current on an inductive load?
it will improve the power factor... The angle between voltage and current will decrease depends on capacitor value.
What will be the PF if measured after capacitor bank?
Capacitors are used to improve an inductive load's power factor towards unity. The power factor before and after adding the capacitor bank depends entirely on the inductive/capacitive values involved.
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).
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.
