SIZING

LV Capacitor Sizing:

Operating load in KW (refer load list) 1233 KW

Operating load in KVA (refer load list) 1419 KVA

Power factor 0.80

To improve power factor to near unity 1

Initial power factor cos 1 0.8

Final power factor cos 2 1

Tan 1 0.75

tan 2 0

KVAR Required: KW (Tan 1-tan 2 ) 924.75 KVAR

Thus APFC capacitor bank size selected as 925 KVAR

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%.
