6 FAQs about [How to compensate current with three-phase capacitors]
Is it possible to add capacitors to a single phase installation?
There are also issues with adding capacitors to your installation which requires due consideration to safety and ciruit protection. Presumably you have allowed for this in your friend's case. In principle you can compensate each of the 3 phases individually as you did in your single phase installation.
How are the capacitances of single-phase compensation banks calculated?
The capacitances of single-phase compensation banks can be calculated using (47). Under these conditions, new currents circulating through the lines feeding the set formed by the load and compensation equipment, were calculated. The values are presented in Table 4.
How does phase compensation work?
In this system, the phase compensation is configured by connecting resistor RITH and capacitor CITH in series with the output of the error amplifier . Rea represents the output resistance of the error amplifier, Vref is the reference voltage, and VFB is the feedback reference voltage (Figure 1). Figure 1. Phase compensation circuit diagram 2.

Can a capacitor bank be used as a compensator for inductive reactive power?
Therefore, the use of capacitor banks in any of their versions (single-phase, three-phase, scalable battery, SVC, etc.) is the most economical and sufficient solution. In this study, a calculation algorithm is proposed to obtain compensators for the inductive reactive power of the load, consisting only of single-phase capacitor banks.
Is the three phase system loading balanced across all phases?
The three phase system loading may not be balanced across all phases and the individual phase power factors may be quite different. You might have to individually compensate each phase. If the loads vary appreciably then the power factor compensation may have a detrimental effect by actually overcompensating the load.
