function of capacitor banks in general

capacitor bank

Generally, the load on the power grid is an inductive load. Someexisting inductive loads disebuah power grid, such as heater,Neon, electric motors, etc. So most of the electrical loads areinductive loads. To eliminate / reduce the inductive component is required compensators namely capacitors / capacitor bank. PLNKVARH charge excess usage on the customer, if the averagepower factor (cos phi) less than 0.85. To improve the power factor so it does not pay the fine, must use the Application Panelcapacitor bank.

The main function of the capacitor bank

1. capacitor bank eliminates the penalty / excess cost
                                                 (kVARh)
2, Avoid overloaded transformers
3. Provide extra power available
4. Avoid the additional flow / temperature on the cable
5. capacitor bank serves to maximize the power consumption
      KVA
6. Power saving / efficiency
7. Avoiding the Drop Line Voltage
8. preserve the installation & Electrical Equipment
9. Capacitor banks also reduce losses - other ruugi
      electrical installations.
With the increasingly high cost of electricity in Indonesia is a power user should be clever - clever maximize the electrical power and to save electricity costs do not become so expensive

Broadly speaking, the function of the Capacitor Bank Panel is to improve Cos Phi in an electrical network that has the burden with Cos Phi below 0.85. The need to repair Cos Phi is one of them intended to avoid the costs arising from the use of excess KVARH (closely related to the merits of the value of Cos Phi), thus PLN will charge as a result of overuse KVARH on the customer, if the average factor power (Cos Phi) less than 0.85.Cos Phi can be measured by a measuring instrument, so that can know the value that can later be diabil a decision as to whether the installation of a Capacitor Bank Panel on the area in question. In general, for an Industrial, Factory or Building which includes of course a lot of machines that operate using electric motors, Air Conditioner Etc., where it would result in the value of cos phi is very low (bad), so it requires installation of a Capacitor Bank Panel on Industrial / Factory is.Specification:Capacitor banks are electrical equipment to improve power factor (PF), which will affect the magnitude of current (Amperes).If the electrical load that contains a lot of reactance (reactance) like an electric motor load, the Neon will be under the PF 0.8.Fluorescent/Neon are not equipped its 0.5 pF capacitor. With the installation of capacitor banks then PF is expected to reach 0.98 ~ 0.9 (because ideally 1.0).PLN actually pleased when customers install capacitor because it can help PLN, of which PLN can supply more current to the customer. For consumers this is an investment, where with the installation of capacitors, the bill will be reduced by alternative could put more power tools. For the industry it is PLN regulation, customers must install a capacitor bank to achieve a PF above 0.85. The use of capacitors is beneficial to both parties, from the customer side of the bill can be reduced and the PLN Losses of electrical energy can be suppressed. Capacitor can not stabilize the voltage, but can raise the voltage of the voltage in the area have gone down due to the inductive load.
