The document discusses the design of a capacitor bank for power factor correction of an electrical supply system.
The capacitor bank is designed to correct the power factor of an electrical supply system from 0.8 to 0.98.
The capacitor bank has a size of 282 kVAR at 415 Volts and consists of 6 steps of capacitors in different ratings adding up to the total size. The minimum main breaker rating required is 613.5 Amps.
