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.

It's not peculiar. That's a property of capacitors.

Can you connect capacitor bank directly in outgoing of 1000 kva transformer.kva ic ratiting of transformer kilo volt ampere?

This may cause ferroresonance or strange over voltages when the transformer is switched if the cap bank isn't separately controlled (and switches separately). You may be able to do this, but if it is not typical it's always best to do careful analysis for possible problems.


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.

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!


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.

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).
