LV Capacitor Sizing:: Thus APFC Capacitor Bank Size Selected As 925 KVAR

The document details the sizing of a low voltage capacitor bank. It determines that a 925 KVAR capacitor bank with 12 steps is needed based on an operating load of 1233 KW, 0.8 power factor, and 924.75 KVAR of capacity required. Non-linear loads account for over 30% of the total load, so detuned filters at 7% of the capacitor rating are also required.

Heavy duty capacitor bank 925KVAR is selected.


Non linear loads
UPS 10 KVA
DC Load 1.1583 KVA
Transformer leakage reactance @4% 80 KVA
Computers 3
Lighting load(CFL) 3
VFD Load with a load factor of 0.8, since all VFD shall be loaded upto a max. of 839
Total non linear loads 936.1583 KVA
Transformer rated KVA 2000
46.80792 %
Thus total non linear loads are >30%.
Thus filters are required.
Detuned Filters at 7% of capacitor rating is considered.

Conclusion: 925KVAR Capacitor Bank with 12 steps.


Detuned Filters at 7%.
