If your question is, "Can a capacitor bank reduce high loads in electrical systems?"

Not really.

In an AC system, a capacitor bank can be used to balance the complex power drawn by the load. If done correctly, this can reduce the current being drawn by the load. If done incorrectly, this can increase the current being drawn by the load.

Look up "power factor correction" for more details.

How do you reduce spike current?

by using capacitor on the line we can reduce spike current or we can use a capacitor bank for the rated line capacity.


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!

How make manten powar factor in capistor bank daigram?

To maintain power factor in a capacitor bank diagram, first calculate the desired power factor for the system and determine the reactive power (kVAR) needed to correct it. Next, select capacitors that provide the required reactive power and integrate them into the electrical system, typically in parallel with the load. The capacitor bank should be sized appropriately based on the load's characteristics and the existing power factor. Finally, ensure proper protection and control mechanisms are in place to manage the capacitor bank's operation effectively.
