1-Circuit breaker sizing for capacitor bank

Assuming Q = 75 kvar , voltage V= 400 v

Power factor CosФ = 0.8
Current I = Q/(√3хVх Sin Ф)
= 75 х 1000 /(√3 х 400 х 0.6)
= 180 Amp
Circuit breaker Amp required = Current ( I ) х Safety factor
= 180 х 1.25
= 225
≈ 250 Amp

2-Contactors sizing for capacitor switching

For 75 kvar, 6 steps ( 4 steps х 15 kvar + 2 steps х 7.5 kvar )

Nominal current In = Q х 1000 / (√3 х V )

= Q х 1000 / (√3 х 400 )
= 1.443 х Q
Thermal current It = 1.5 х In
= 1.5 х 1.443 х Q
= 2.16 х Q

Thermal current for 15 kvar capacitor = 2.16 х 15 = 32.4 ≈ 35 Amp

Thermal current for 7.5 kvar capacitor = 2.16 х 7.5 = 16.2 ≈ 20 Amp

3- gG fuses sizing for capacitors

Fuse rating Amp for capacitor = 1.7 х In

= 1.7 х 1.443 х Q
= 2.45 х Q

Fuse rating Amp for 15 kvar capacitor = 2.45 х 15 = 36.8 ≈ 40 Amp

Fuse rating Amp for 7.5kvar capacitor = 2.45 х 7.5 = 18.4 ≈20 Amp
