Calculation of the energy savings
In order to calculate power factor correction for your installation, your should follow the steps below:
Step 1 – Calculate Actual Load (kW)
(Load) Power kW = Volts V x √3 x Current I x Power factor Pf
Step 2 – Calculate Required Power Factor Correction (kVAr)
Power Factor Correction kVAr = Power kW (TanΦi – TanΦd)
Φi = Cos-1 Initial Power Factor Pf
Φd = Cos-1 Required Power Factor Pf
Step 3 – Calculate Actual Power Factor Correction [kAVrl
Actual Power Factor Correction Pf = Cos (Tan-1 (TanΦi – Correction kVAr/Power kW ))
Typical Power Factor Correction available in multiples of 25kVAR’s, for further details please Contact Blakley Electrics Technical Department.
At the end of the spreadsheet you will get the calculation of the energy savings for above power factor correction.
- Initial Current (Amps)
- Original Load (kVA)
- Corrected Current (Amps)
- Corrected Load (kVA)
- Reduction in Current (Amps)
- Reduction in Load (kVA)
- Annual CO2 Savings ( kg C02)

Goodies
pls send me power factor calculation sheet
pls send me M VOLTAGE CABLE CALCULATION SHEET
Plz send me pdf file, regard required power factor calculation..
Great info you have shared here.
Hi, Share calculation
Thanks for sharing such kind useful article.
I am an electrical engineer In Nagpur good information i got from your site.
thanks a lot.
Hello sir’
im working as a electrical design engineer
kindly please clear my doubts
1) how to find the incomer current rating for APFCR panel ?
2) how to find the breaker current rating for the 25kvar & 50kvar capacitor ?
please give the answer??
and i refer this method its right or wrong??
Kvar= 1.73*V*I*Sin$ ($ IS INSTESD OF PHASE ANGLE PHI)
so I= kVAR/1.73*V*SIN$
IN A PURELY CAPACITIVE CIRCUIT $ IS 90 DEGREE
SO TERM SIN 90 = 1
HENCE WE CAN CALCULATE CAPACITOR CURRENT BY kVAR/1.73*V
Sir, please tell me formula for improve power factor.. And which type of problems occur in industry’s when we maintain leading power factor
Excelente portal, gracias por las publicaciones.
Hello Friends,
I want to learm Electrical Engineering. Where i start because lot of topics in the electrical. Please guide me.
mail id : [email protected]
sir i am working as a technician in private industry, plant is running with load about 900 kva how much capacitance we should need to connect, what kind of problems arise when we are connect capacitance more than required value kindly send the answer to my mail id
thanking you sir.
You will spend more capacitors than necessary, I presume thati It is expensive. You will loose money. And if there were a much more capacitance, you will need more KVAr again, but now capacitive.
sir, give me formula for improve power factor. how can i get which capacitor will improve power fsctor
thanks a lot for sharing of important electrical information .I thinks this side is very helpful for EEE ,MEE,
I am an electrical engineer graduated from s.j.c.e mysore – india .
good information i got from your site.
thanks a lot.
The information I have got are very useful and are of great importance to the problem that I was working on.
How to find out the wire size for connecting to PFI unit?? We have an 800kva substation.
Thanks for sharing such nice information
