In addition, power factor 14 Commonwealth Sprague penalties can be reduced and power quality can be greatly enhanced. UNIPAK 15 There are two main reasons to correct AUTOVAR poor power factor. The Ţrst is to UNIVAR 16 reduce or eliminate a power factor penalty charged by your local utility. Eaton/Cutler-Hammer Another reason is that your existing 22-4 UNIPAK 17 transformer is, or shortly will be, at full 22-4 AUTOVAR capacity and installing power factor correction capacitors can be a very 22-5 UNIVAR 18 cost-effective solution to installing a Figure 22-1.

Depending on the amount of power factor correction 19 (amount of kvar required for the electrical system to improve the power 20 factor) and the dynamic nature of the load, a Ţxed or switched capacitor bank may be the best solution. When 21 capacity becomes a problem, the choice of a solution will be dependent upon the size of the increase needed. 22 Like all power quality solutions, there are many factors that need to be con- sidered when determining which solu- 23 tion will be best to solve your power factor problem. 24 25 For more information visit: www.EatonElectrical.com CA08105001E YES_Book.book Page 3 Monday, February 27, 2006 10:20 AM Power Factor Correction Capacitors 22-3 Electrical Aftermarket Products and Services March 2006 Aftermarket Solutions, Ref.
