Capacitor banks are installed in the electrical room to improve the power factor which is related to the inductive load caused by motors etc . The capacitors create a capacitive load which subtracts against the inductive load thereby improving the power factor. Most power utilities have penalties when your power factor drops below a certain value.

Are arc fault breakers required on service upgrades?
They may or may not be required for all living spaces where you live when upgrading the panel. Call your local inspector to find out. In my area they are not required on an upgrade but I always install them in bedrooms, closets, living rooms, den, sun room, breakfast room, dining room, libraries, any place people gather may require them. AFCIs will not be required in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, unfinished basements, garages, attics or outdoors. I personally install them when I upgrade a service panel. They are a great safety device that will protect the people living in that home. I also recommend and install GFCI outlets where needed if the homeowner agrees.
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.
Can you install a water heater in a utility room with a electrical breaker box?
Yes but run the vent tube outside
How to avoid noise while using power factor correction caapcitors at or with telephone exchanges?
Install the capacitors in a sound proof room just off of the electrical room.

Can you replace a 470uf 10v capacitor with a 470 25v 105c high temp radial leads capacitor for a digital tv converter box?
Yes, as long as there is room to mount the larger capacitor. A better replacement might be a 470uF 16v capacitor, which should be smaller than the 25v cap. If necessary, insulating tubing can be put on the leads & the cap can be mounted off the board, or at an angle to the board. Remember to observe polarity when connecting the capacitor leads to the board. Note the orientation & markings on the old capacitor before unsoldering it.
A room in a bank where valuables are stored is called what?

Can you install a main electrical panel in a laundry room or furnace room?
