Power Factor.
Power Factor.
(OP)
Dears All:
I´m designing one system in Low voltage, now I have one doubt. I have calculated the KVAr´s to increase the F.P. from 0.86 to 0.9 by local regulation, however, I have considered the load in operation but i not sure if that is correct because I think the installed load shall be considered, please send me your opinion.
Obviously when the system be started i will know the Power Factor but now i´m in stage of design.
Thank you.

RE: Power Factor.
You want to improve the PF (Power Factor)?
You want to calculate this for your steady state running load.
I don't think you have a "start up" PF problem generally.
But again, I'm not clear on your question.

RE: Power Factor.
If you are on a KVA demand billing don't stop at a PF of 0.90. You will find it cost justified to add more caps and raise the PF higher.
