Example:
An example is given below to demonstrate how the capacitance value is
calculated.
Suppose a capacitor under test is rated at 400kVAR, 6600V, 50Hz, 29.2
F. Let us
say, you are using 200V, 50Hz test power and have recorded the values of voltage
and current for each test as given in the table below.
Let us calculate the capacitance using the first reading. In this case:
Where, f = frequency of the applied voltage.
Similarly, you can calculate the capacitance for the remaining two measurements
for L2-N and L3-N.
