A capacitor can store electrical charge, and a bank of them could store alarge charge. We sometimes set up a capacitor bank to store a large electrical charge for certain physics experiments. With the flip of a switch, we can "dump" all that electrical energy into a circuit to power up something. The pulse of power might be use do drive a big laser to punch a hole in a missile in a high arc, just to cite one example of the use of a bank of capacitors. In the electrical trade the capacitor bank is used for power factor correction. The capacitive reactance is used to offset the inductive reactance caused by inductive loads (motors). Motor loads can cause the power factor to drop to .8 or lower and for this the customer is penalized by an extra service charge. The goal is to have a power factor level above .9. where there is no surcharge from the power supply authority. The cost of installing a capacitor bank is soon payed off from the absence of the surcharge.

Why capacitor bank using reeactor?
Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.
How do you calculate Kwh saving after installing capacitor bank?
Adding a capacitor bank makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the amount of energy consumed (in kilowatt hours). The capacitor bank might reduce the load current, but this does not affect the amount of energy consumed. Anyone who tries to sell you a 'capacitor bank' in order to save you energy is selling a SCAM!
Purpose of capacitor bank on a sub-station electrical room?
The primary reason for a capacitor bank in an electrical substation is for power factor correction. There may also be some secondary purpose for the capacitor bank but the primary reason is power factor correction.
What are example of capacitive load?
capacitor bank
How many current drawn in 400 kvar capacitor bank?
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
How does a plug in PFC differ from a capacitor bank?
It doesn't ?
How can be determined the rating of capacitor bank?
If you are talking about a capacitor bank used for power-factor improvement, then it is rated in reactive volt amperes (var). Otherwise, it is rated in farads (F).
What is the correct cable size for the 550 KVAR capacitor bank?
Cable sizing is based on amperage of the load. The rating of the capacitor bank and the voltage at which it operated need to be stated to give an answer.
How is hydroelectric energy stored for later use?
a capacitor bank
