Power Factor Correction (kVAR)
Calculate the capacitor kVAR needed to correct a low power factor to a target and see the reduction in apparent power and current, free online.
About this calculator
Reactive power Q = Pยทtan ฯ. To raise the power factor from pfโ to pfโ you need capacitors of Q_c = P(tan ฯโ โ tan ฯโ) kVAR. A better power factor cuts the current and avoids utility penalties. kVA = kW รท pf.
