A 3-phase capacitor bank is installed in a 13.8-kV primary distribution feeder. The 3-phase bank is constructed from three single phase banks connected in wye. Each single-phase bank is made up of two 200-kVAr capacitor units (rated 8.32-kV) connected in parallel. The 3-phase short circuit capacity at the capacitor bus is 60-MVA. Determine the following: The rated current and rated capacitance of a 200-KVAR capacitor unit rated 8.32-kV a. b. The actual reactive power generated by each capacitor unit The total reactive power generated by the 3-phase bank C. d. The actual voltage rise at the capacitor bus.
