Question:

HOW I CAN CALCULATE THE CAPACITOR BANK?

I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN CALCULATE CAPACITOR BANK IN ANY PLANT COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ?I APPRECIATE

Answer:

The only reason that a plant might use a capacitor Bank is for power factor correction. Power factor correction is very over rated. If a plant has a highly inductive load then Capacitors might allow the service to use smaller wire but wire is cheaper than capacitors.
First,You need to know the power factor or power factor correction for your project. Then you can calculate the value of the capacitor bank. As you know , Cos phi, powerfactor, R/z
You need to be more specific in your question. You need to know what you are trying to filter and what source load and impedences you have and so on. There is no plug and play formula for this question. However, the formula for a capacitor is 1/ jwc.
