    Capacitor Bank Sizing

    Uploaded by

    rambala123
    This document outlines the steps to size a capacitor bank and compares the costs before and after installing capacitors. It provides the inputs needed like supply voltage, power, load current, and capacitor costs. It then shows the calculations to determine the required kVAR, capacitance in microfarads, and costs associated with the maximum demand charge, energy consumption, capacitor installation, and total annual costs before and after installing capacitors. The results show that installing a 3-phase 15.45 kVAR capacitor bank would reduce the total annual costs by about $1,837.
