For compensation to cos φ = 0.9, a capacitor power of approximately 50 % of the active power is required: Qc = 0.5 · P In infrastructural projects (offices, schools, etc.), the following applies: Qc = 0.1 to 0.2 · P For installations which are already running, the required capacitor power can be determined by measuring.
Power capacitors are rated by the amount of reactive power they can generate. The rating used for the power of capacitors is KVAR. Since the SI unit for a capacitor is farad, an equation is used to convert from the capacitance in farad to equivalent reactive power in KVAR.
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.
In single compensation, the capacitors are directly connected to the terminals of the individual power consumers and switched on together with them via a common switching device. Here, the capacitor power must be precisely adjusted to the respective consumers. Single compensation is frequently used for induction motors (Figure 4).
