Capacitors designed to be used for power-factor correction are rated in reactive volt amperes, rather than in farads.
The reason for this is that in order to determine the necessary correction, a load's existing reactive volt amperes is first calculated, then the reactive volt amperes of the capacitor must be determined in order to achieve the required value of power factor. In other words, the capacitance (in farads) of the capacitor is irrelevant to the calculation.

How many current drawn in 400 kvar capacitor bank?
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
Why bypass capacitor of the second stage to disconnect to get the output?
we can use the Out Put Capacitor Ex Kvar
What is the Formula to calculate KVAR?
{| |- | capacitance of the capacitor is mentioned in KVAR. Formula : KVAR = KW*tan@ FOR tan@, First note the power factor & KW without connecting capacitor. The noted power factor is in cos@.Convert the cos@ value in tan@. for ex. If power factor is 0.6, KW = 200 cos@ = 0.6 cos-1 (0.6) = 53.1 tan (53.1) = 1.333 200*1.333 = 266.6 KVAR if you use 266 KVAR capacitor, Then the power factor improves to unity (1.000). |}
What happens when capacitor KVAr rating is much bigger than the required rating?
You end up with a leading power factor. The Kvar meter will run backwards.
What is the correct cable size for the 550 KVAR capacitor bank?
Cable sizing is based on amperage of the load. The rating of the capacitor bank and the voltage at which it operated need to be stated to give an answer.
How do you decide KVAR rating of capacitor bank?
Generally the capacitor rating of a bank are decided on the load factor.ie higher the KVAR higher the capacity.KVAR is the reactive power in which load angle differs with the load variation.If we know load factor multiply it by the sine angle which gives us the capacity of the cpapcity of the load bank.

How does identify the capacitor capacity for 1.5 kw single phase motor?
If the power factor is 0.7 the reactive power equals the real power, so the capacitor should be 1.5 kVAr. That is a reasonable estimate for a small induction motor.
What is KVAR?
KVAR Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive KVAR Kilovolt-Ampere-Reactance {| ! Acronym ! Definition | Formular for calculation of kvar |}
Kvar is equal to what in Hindi?
kvar
How is total capacitive reactance for parallel capacitors using their reactances is calculated?
Total capacitance for parallel capacitors is simply the sum of all capacitor's individual capacitances. This would apply within (reasonably) any frequency, ignoring non-ideal resistance and inductance, so the same can be said for capacitive reactance.
How much kvar capacitor bank installed for 2000 kva transformer?
It depends on the power factor of the load, but for a load power factor of 0.7 on a 2000 kVA transformer the real power and reactive power are both 1400 kilo (watts and VAR). So a 1400 kVAR capacitor on the load would restore the power factor to 1, allowing 2000 kW to be drawn instead of only 1400 kW.
What is a kvar?
Kvar = Kilo Volt Amp Reactance.
