Visually trace the interconnection between individual capacitors, and verify that they as per the drawing. Check the capacitance value of the bank using LRC meter, and compare with the specified value. Check IR values. IF CT or residual VT (RVT) is provided, it has to be tested as per standard testing procedure.
For each step power rating (physical or electrical) to be provided in the capacitor bank, calculate the resonance harmonic orders: where S is the short-circuit power at the capacitor bank connection point, and Q is the power rating for the step concerned.
Do a visual check of the equipment, to check for damage. Ensure that the connection is as per drawing. Visually trace the interconnection between individual capacitors, and verify that they as per the drawing. Check the capacitance value of the bank using LRC meter, and compare with the specified value. Check IR values.
Take measurements over a significant period (minimum one week) of the voltages, currents, power factor, level of harmonics (individual and global THD-U/THD-I). Size the capacitor bank appropriately for its reactive energy compensation requirements, based on these measurements and your electricity bills.
is 1.15mA. The last step is to stabilize the control loop, as it has to deal with the phase shift caused by crossing the transformer boundary, and this is easily achieved with the capacitor C11, which usually needs to be in the range 0.01 to 0.1uF.
Considering power capacitor with rated power of 20 kvar and rated voltage of 440V supplied by mains at Un=400V. This type of calculation is true, if there is no reactor connected in series with capacitor. Once we know the total reactive power of the capacitors, we can choose series of capacitors for PF correction.
