    Power Factor

    Hi I am new. I hope sameone can help

    We have a transformer 1600Amp with a bulk power factor correction. With a 12*60Kvar steps = 720Kvar
    • The systems run with a 0.7 without the caps.
    • The systems run with a 0.96 with the caps.
    • I have work it out that we need +_ 800Kvar.
    To the point.
    • Can you change the 12Step controller to a 20Step controller to try to add extra caps?
    • Can you add two caps in parallel if the contactor can take the amps (If I do this I do not have to change the controller)?
    • Can you add an extra bank off caps in parallel on the bus bar system if you control it by the same controller?
    • Is it true if you do a correction of a third of your total load you cannot add a extra capacitor bank in parallel with you existing system.
