How to calculate power factor correction for my installation ? Please see the file attached to check the Questions .
- Calculate Actual Load (kW)
(Load) Power kW = Volts V x √3 x Current I x Power factor Pf
- Calculate Required Power Factor Correction (kVAr)
Power Factor Correction kVAr = Power kW (TanΦi - TanΦd)
Φi = Cos-1 Initial Power Factor Pf
Φd = Cos-1 Required Power Factor Pf
- Calculate Actual Power Factor Correction [kAVrl
Actual Power Factor Correction Pf = Cos (Tan-1 (TanΦi - Correction kVAr/Power kW ))
