Formulas: A) Capacitors Connected in Parallel

This document contains definitions and formulas related to power factor correction using capacitors. It defines key terms like capacitance, capacitive reactance, power factor, and reactive power. It also provides formulas for calculating capacitive kilovars required, total power, reactive power, voltage rise from adding capacitors, loss reduction from power factor correction, capacitor current, harmonic current and frequency calculations for single and multiple capacitor bank switching, total harmonic distortion, RMS values, displacement power factor, total power factor, resonant frequency, THD product, quality factor, crest factor, and symmetrical RMS short-circuit current.
