This capacitor carries a current of 25,000/690 or 36.2 amps and its impedance (reactance) is 19 ohms. The capacitance is 1/(2.pi.50.19) or 0.000167 Farad, on a 50 Hz system.
The time-constant is CR so that if a 20,000 ohm resistor is placed across the capacitor the time-constant is 3.3 seconds. The voltage is reduced by 99% after 5 time-constants or in this case 17 seconds.
If the discharge resistor is permanently in circuit it dissipates 690^2 / 20000 or 24 watts.

It depends on the power factor of the load, but for a load power factor of 0.7 on a 2000 kVA transformer the real power and reactive power are both 1400 kilo (watts and VAR). So a 1400 kVAR capacitor on the load would restore the power factor to 1, allowing 2000 kW to be drawn instead of only 1400 kW.
kvar = kva*sin@
kvar = kva*sin@
420 micro farad=1 kvar
A negative KVAR reading can be eliminated by adding an inductor to the circuit.
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
we can use the Out Put Capacitor Ex Kvar
{| |- | capacitance of the capacitor is mentioned in KVAR. Formula : KVAR = KW*tan@ FOR tan@, First note the power factor & KW without connecting capacitor. The noted power factor is in cos@.Convert the cos@ value in tan@. for ex. If power factor is 0.6, KW = 200 cos@ = 0.6 cos-1 (0.6) = 53.1 tan (53.1) = 1.333 200*1.333 = 266.6 KVAR if you use 266 KVAR capacitor, Then the power factor improves to unity (1.000). |}
You end up with a leading power factor. The Kvar meter will run backwards.
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.
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.

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.

Kvar = Kilo Volt Amp Reactance.
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.
