I am trying to calculate the size of inductors for a three phase shunt reactor bank to provide 3MVAR at 33kV.
Calculations
XL=(kV^2)/MVAR = 33^2/3 = 363 ohms
L= XL/(2piF)= 363/376.99 = 0.962 Henries
Is this value correct, if so will the bank require an indcutor of 0.962 henries per phase...
I am attempting to understand the power flow in a shunt capacitor. I understand that basic concept in regards to a capacitor but I would like to understand its behavior with an AC, 60hz source. Does the capacitor charge and discharge 60 times per second as the AC oscillates from positive to...
Does anyone know of a Distribution Switched Shunt Reactor application at 33kV? I did search the forum and found a thread from two years ago with this question but no answer was determined.
The problem comes from new 33kV generator projects requesting interconnection. These would cause...
I was told that the kvars on a capacitor bank decay by a square of the line voltage. ex. if the voltage feeding the capacitors drops by 1/2, then the capacitors are only capable of delivering 1/4 of their rated capacitance, is this true? is there a formula for this?
I am trying to determine...
