Non Linear Load Bank Design
Non Linear Load Bank Design
(OP)
Need to build a Non Linear Load Bank which would have a Crest Factor of 3:1, single Phase 208 VAC, 60 hZ Power,
approximate 10 kVA, at a power factor in the range of
0.8 to 1.
Using Rectifier, Caps and Resistive Load, the highest Crest Factor we obtain is 2.5:1

The two previous replies are correct, just not enought details. Also you did not give detailes.
If you want current for a power supply,
do not do rms or pf.
Use instance PK*Time and RMS numbers (source / load at peak curent).
Comment; the standerd for power supplies (PF)is,
apperent power / real power.
Note: 1) The basic reduces to energy in
(volts*I*rms)/( rms power out).
2) The total Z on the load includes the discharge resistor.
3 You can modify for a larger cap by adding a
resistor in series.
If you want lagging current iductors must be sized.
Suggestion: 1)put in a resistor to draw the needed load.
2)add C=I*t/v
c= cap
I= current
t= tine (60*2/1=8.33*10-3= .00833)
v= acceptle voltage ripple (Must subtract cap Z
from this number.
