Power Factor Correction

This document contains calculations related to power factor correction for various 3-phase industrial loads. It determines the kVAR rating and capacitance values of capacitors needed to raise the power factor of motors and other equipment loads to unity. Supply currents are also calculated before and after power factor correction. The examples cover different voltage levels and mixture of resistive, inductive, and combined loads.
