Shreem - Type-S 13 all film capacitors (fig-1)

features the latest designed, manufactured and Shreem single - phase, all - film capacitors. (fig. 1)
tested to meet or exceed the requirements of
applicable IEC & IS standard.
Their low cost per kVAr makes these capacitors
a simple, economical source of reactive power
on electric power systems for,
Improving power factor
Reducing line losses
Decreasing voltage drop Ratings
Power capacitors can be installed
singly or in factory - assembled Shreem Capacitors are rated in continuous kVAr, voltage and
switched or unswitched banks in
Frequency for operating within the - 20o to + 50 o C ambient
Pole mounting racks temperature range. Designed to produce not less than
Substation blocks
rated kVAr at rated voltage and frequency, they are subjected to
Metal enclosures
all applicable IEC/IS standard dielectric tests. Single - phase 50 -
through 750 kVAr capacitors will operate safely at 135 % of kVAr
rating. The 35% above name plate value includes,
Capacitor Application

Capacitor application requires an evaluation of

the power system to determine.
The kVAr needs
The most effective location
The necessary protection
In general capacitors are installed
At the substation : To supply the system
var needs most effectively.
At the near the load center : To obtain the
optimum var supply and voltage
correction.
At the end of the line : To achieve maximum
voltage correction.
kVAr caused by excess voltage at rated frequency
kVAr added by the harmonic voltage superimposed on the
power frequency voltage.
kVAr attributable to manufacturing tolerance.
The maximum recommended working voltage of capacitor is
110% of rated voltage. Shreem capacitors include a
safety factor that permits them to tolerate without damage
momentary over voltages caused by switching or load changes.
Capacitor - rated frequency is 50 Hz, kVAr output varies directly
as the ratio applied frequency to rated frequency. Capacitors
designed to operate at other frequencies are also available.

Example :
What is the capacitor power rating required to
increase the power factor of an installation from 0.65 Fig. 3 Nomogram
to 0.97 if the load P is 1500 kW ?
From the nomogram K = 0.92 and hence
Q = 0.92 x 1500 = 1350 kVAr
