Avoid reactive power penalties. Size your capacitor bank correctly.
Inductive loads like motors and transformers require Reactive Power (kVAR) to create magnetic fields. It doesn't perform useful work, but it increases kVA demand and can trigger utility power-factor penalties—especially for factories, chillers, pumps, and heavy industrial loads.
By installing a Capacitor Bank, you supply reactive power locally, improving the power factor and reducing apparent power. Use this calculator to size the required kVAR, estimate demand reduction, and translate correction targets into an actionable capacitor bank specification.
