The power factor compensation equipment has been envisaged at 6.6kV Bus for improvement of the overall power
factor of the system & Across the Motors
The 6.6 kV bus section-1 and 2 shall be connected to indoor type capacitor banks of suitable rating with series air
core reactor
6.6kV Capacitor banks for indoor installation, composed of ungrounded Y connected Capacitors, with fully insulated
neutrals and current ransformers for unbalance protection and series connected charging current inrush damping
reactors with all necessary calmps, connectors, bus work racks.
The 6.6 kV Capacitor bank design will meet the requirements of the IEC 60871 or IS 13925
Improvement of overall Final Power Factor (C2) -CosØ2 - lag = 0.95 As per Technical Specification
