Fundamentals Of Shunt Capacitor Banks

R2,100.00

This course serves as an introduction to the operating principles of high voltage power capacitor banks with particular focus on shunt connected capacitor banks.

Power capacitors form an integral part of equipment used in the reactive compensation areas of power systems and network planning. The term reactive compensation is widely used in the ESI (Electrical Supply Industry) to identify a method employed to decrease the amount of apparent power required in a network by adding reactive power to the system, hence the term compensation.
