Utilitie to Calculate several types Electric Calculations:
- Calculate the section of the conductors with the type of material, voltage, power, voltage drop and temperature among others.
- Calculate the Power Factor and its correction by recalculating the section of the conductors if you desired.
- Calculate the resistance of a conductor based on temperature and material (CU or AL). (coming soon)
- Etc.
Connection Types
The capacitor must be connected in parallel with the load. The connection method depends on whether the system is single-phase or three-phase.
A. Single-Phase System
- Connect one terminal of the capacitor to the phase wire.
- Connect the other terminal to the neutral wire.
B. Three-Phase System
You can connect the capacitor bank in either delta (Δ) or star (Y) configuration:
- Delta (Δ) Connection: Each capacitor is connected between two phases.
- Star (Y) Connection: Each capacitor is connected between a phase and neutral.
Installation Steps
- Disconnect power to ensure safety.
- Mount the capacitor securely near the load or distribution board.
- Connect the wires according to the system configuration:
- For delta, connect between phases.
- For star, connect between each phase and neutral.
- Install fuses or a breaker for protection.
- Reconnect power and test the system.
