    The document discusses sizing circuit breakers, contactors, and fuses for a 225 kvar capacitor bank. It determines that a 700 amp circuit breaker, contactors rated for 45, 35 and 25 amps, and fuses rated for 50, 40 and 25 amps would be required for the 10 steps of 20 kvar, 1 step of 15 kvar, and 1 step of 10 kvar capacitors, respectively. Safety and overload factors are applied in the calculations.

    1-Circuit breaker sizing for capacitor bank

    Assuming Q = 225 kvar , voltage V= 400 v


    Power factor CosФ = 0.8
    Current I = Q/(√3хVх Sin Ф)
    = 225 х 1000 /(√3 х 400 х 0.6)
    = 541 Amp
    Circuit breaker Amp required = Current ( I ) х Safety factor
    = 541 х 1.25
    = 676 Amp
    ≈ 700 Amp

    2-Contactors sizing for capacitor switching

    For 225 kvar, 12 steps ( 10 steps х 20 kvar + 1 step х 15 kvar + 1 step х 10 kvar )

    Nominal current In = Q х 1000 / (√3 х V )


    = Q х 1000 / (√3 х 400 )
    = 1.443 х Q
    Thermal current It = 1.5 х In
    = 1.5 х 1.443 х Q
    = 2.16 х Q

    Thermal current for 20 kvar capacitor = 2.16 х 20 = 43.2 ≈ 45 Amp


    Thermal current for 15 kvar capacitor = 2.16 х 15 = 32.4 ≈ 35 Amp
    Thermal current for 10 kvar capacitor = 2.16 х 10 = 21.6 ≈ 25 Amp

    3- gG fuses sizing for capacitors

    Fuse rating Amp for capacitor = 1.7 х In


    = 1.7 х 1.443 х Q
    = 2.45 х Q

    Fuse rating Amp for 20 kvar capacitor = 2.45 х 20 = 49 ≈ 50 Amp


    Fuse rating Amp for 15 kvar capacitor = 2.45 х 15 = 36.8 ≈ 40 Amp
    Fuse rating Amp for 10 kvar capacitor = 2.45 х 10 = 24.5≈ 25 Amp
