PostHeaderIcon Should Capacitor banks be added while running Diesel Generator?


The reactive current of these capacitor banks will add up in the total output of the DG set. If induction load-heating coils etc are used then, adding capacitor bank is essential.If so how much the DG should be de-rated?

NOT needed.
The excitation takes care of the reactive power needed.
But if proper regulation is to be maintained capacitor bank maybe used at the terminals of the load connected.
