    This document provides calculations and recommendations for installing capacitor banks to improve power factor at two different sites. For the first site, it determines that a 298.9 kVAr capacitor bank is needed to raise the power factor from 0.75 to 0.9. It recommends either a 6-step, 250 kVAr capacitor bank or a 12-step, 250 kVAr bank. For the second site, a 274.7 kVAr bank is required, and it again provides options for 6-step or 12-step, 250 kVAr banks. Ratings are provided for the capacitors, MCCBs, and contactors needed.

    REMARK
    -- If above rating does not match to normal MCCB rating, select a type with rating slightly higher than the above.

    -- Contactor ratings recommended above are based on common ranges available in the market. Other ranges closest
    to recommended ratings are acceptable. Minimum requirement is 1.5 times rated capacitor current, AC3 rating.
    Counter check 363.54

    (output KVAR) = X kvar*(415/525)2 = X KVAR * 0.625


    MCCB = ((output KVAR * 1000)/415*sqrt(3))*1.5 = output KVAR *2.1

    easy way
    mccb = KVAR * .625 * 2.1
