    The document discusses sizing a capacitor bank for power factor correction on an electrical load. It provides details of the load such as supply voltage, current, and power factor. It then calculates the required size of the capacitor bank as 282kVAR. Additional details are given on sizing the main fuse, circuit breaker, and cable for the capacitor bank connection. Annual cost savings from improving the power factor to 0.98 using the capacitor bank are estimated at Rs. 169,200.
