To size a capacitor for a 1500 kVA transformer, you typically aim for a power factor correction that brings the power factor close to 1. A common rule of thumb is to use 0.5 to 0.75 MVAR of capacitive power per 1000 kVA of transformer capacity. Therefore, for a 1500 kVA transformer, you might consider installing around 0.75 to 1.125 MVAR of capacitors, depending on the existing power factor and desired correction level. Always consult with a professional engineer to determine the precise requirements based on the specific application and load conditions.

What is mov capacitor?
A capacitor used to protect the transformer if these any problem in the cct.
Does a transformer contains capacitor?
A transformer does not normally contain a capacitor. However, you might be thinking of a 'd.c. power supply', which consists of a transformer, rectifier, and smoothing circuits. The smoothing circuits will contain capacitors.
Why capacitor bank used in transformer?
Capacitor banks are used in transformer applications primarily for power factor correction and voltage stabilization. They help improve the overall efficiency of the electrical system by reducing reactive power demand, which can lower energy costs and enhance the capacity of the transformer. Additionally, capacitor banks can mitigate voltage fluctuations and harmonics, ensuring more reliable operation of the transformer and connected loads. Overall, their use contributes to improved system performance and longevity.

What is the function of capacitor voltage transformer at the switch yard?
function of capacitive voltage transformer is measure high transmission voltage with low range voltmeter and oprate the relay circuit to oprate CBs.
Can a 1500KVA transformer feed a 1600A 480V service?
No, a 1500KVA transformer is not large enough to handle a 1600A load at 480V. The transformer should have a higher kVA rating to support the current demand of 1600A. A transformer with a minimum capacity of 1920KVA would be needed for this application.

What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
How do you reduce DC?
by using a resistor or capacitor or transformer
How a capacitor steps down ac?
A capacitor doesn't step down AC voltage, that's what a transformer does! It really can't, no matter what the circumstances.

What capacitor should you use on my step up transformer with an output of 220v so you can use it to run my 220v 60hz motor?
If you have a transformer with an output adequate to run the motor, use it directly for the supply to the motor control circuitry. Remember when dealing with motors, the start current will be about 300% of the full load running amperage. Size the transformer accordingly.
How do you fix the run capacitor on a ceiling fan?
Be certain to observe the exact same polarity as the old one. A capacitor does have plus and minus leads. Should an old defective ceiling fan transformer be replaced by a capacitor?
What function does a capacitor serve in an auto transformer?
An autotransformer does not normally use any capacitors as it is a transformer with one winding and the lower voltage is taken from a tap part-way up the winding. A capacitor could be added if there is a concern about the power factor presented by the autotransformer to the supply.
