    This document provides calculations to determine the appropriate size of capacitors needed for phase improvement at different locations in the Karaikal Port Project Phase-II. It determines that a 1050 kVAR capacitor is sufficient for the 6.6 kV Bus-1 Switchboard at SS-1 based on the load requirements, voltage levels, and desired power factor correction. This calculation can be used to verify the appropriate capacitor sizes for other locations in the project.

This is a typical calculation and for Bus-2 in 6.6 kV Switchboard at SS-1,Bus-1 & 2 in 6.6 kV Switchboard at SS-2 capacitor size can be verified similarly.
