The capacity of capacitor bank used in power factor correction is expressed in terms of____________?
Correct answer: C. kVAR
- A. kW
- B. kVA
- C. kVAR
- D. volts
Explanation
A capacitor supplies reactive power, so a power-factor-correction bank is rated in kVAR rather than real power in kW or apparent power in kVA. Its reactive output is commonly calculated as Q = V²/Xc.
