    Capacitor Bank Sizing Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Arunava Basak
    The document provides specifications for sizing a capacitor bank across the terminals of main pumps for a clear water pumping station. It includes the motor rating, supply voltage, power factors, currents, and formulas used to calculate the maximum and total KVAR that can be connected across the motor terminal. The total KVAR is higher than maximum, so the excess KVAR of 6.78 will need to be connected across the switchgear bus bars instead of across the motor terminals.
