Capacitance Calculation
(OP)
Hi all,
How do I calculate the capacitance for a oil-filled transformer and power factor correction capacitor bank. Any reference to texts or IEEE standards will be helpful.
Thanks.

RE: Capacitance Calculation
For a capacitor you can do it. You know the voltage rating and the kvar rating.
Z = kV^2/kvar*1000
also
Z = 1/(2 pi f C)
These 2 equations can be used to calculate the capacitance in terms of the remaining factors.
