Capacitor Ban Panels

A Capacitor Bank is a group of several capacitors of the same rating that are connected in series or parallel with each other to store electrical energy . The resulting bank is then used to counteract or correct a power factor lag or phase shift in an alternating current (AC) power. It is generally used for improving power factor of electricity consumed by bulk consumers. Capacitors , constitute leading the inductive loads. Loads with low power factor draw more current from supply than same active load with high power factor and hence cause increased power loss in supply line. for capacitor banks include Marx generators, pulsed lasers, radars, fusion research, nuclear weapons detonators, and electromagnetic railguns and coilguns. Since this equipment uses an inductive load, they are susceptible to phase shifts and power factor lags in the power supply which can result in a loss of system efficiency if left uncorrected
