To calculate the correction to correct a load to unity, measure the KVA and the displacement power factor, calculate the KVAR as above and you have the required correcion. To calculate the correction from a known pf to a target pf, first calculate the KVAR in the load at the known power factor, than calculate the KVAR in the load for the target power factor and the required correction is the difference between the two. i.e. Measured Load Conditions: KVA = 560 pf = 0.55 Target pf = 0.95 (1) KVAR = KVA x sqrt(1 - pf x pf) = 560 x sqrt(1 - 0.55 x 0.55) = 560 x 0.835 = 467.7 KVAR (2) KVAR = KVA x sqrt(1 - pf x pf) = 560 x sqrt(1 - 0.95 x 0.95) = 560 x 0.3122 = 174.86 KVAR (3) Correction required to correct from 0.55 to 0.95 is (1) - (2) = 292.8 KVAR (= 300 KVAR)

To calculate the reduction in line current or KVA by the addition of power factor correction for a known initial KVA and power factor and a target power factor, we first calculate the KW from the known KVA and power factor. From that KW and the target power factor, we can calculate the new KVA (or line current). i.e. Initial KVA = 560 Initial pf = 0.55 Target pf = 0.95 (1) KW = KVA x pf = 560 x 0.55 = 308 KW (2) KVA = KW / pf = 308 / 0.95 = 324 KVA => KVA reduction from 560 KVA to 324 KVA => Current reduction to 57% (43% reduction) Bookmark This Page!
