Current flow through the circuit, I = V/Z = 400/10 = 41.5 A Power factor = 8/10 = 0.8 After connecting a capacitor bank, the reactive power component of current changes but the active power component of current is unchanged. I1*cosφ1 = I2*cosφ2 41.5*0.8 = I2*0.9 I2 = 36.88 A Q1 (before connecting capacitor) = √3*VL*IL*sinφ1 = √3*415*41.5*sin(36.86) = 26.847 kVAR Q2 (after connecting capacitor) = √3*VL*IL*sinφ2 = √3*415*36.88*sin(25.84) = 15.867 kVAR kVAR supplied by capacitor bank = Q1 - Q2 = 26.847 - 15.867 = 10.98 kVAR
Two-part tariff: In this type of tariff, the total bill is divided into two parts. The first one is the fixed charge and the second is the running charge. The fixed charge is because of the maximum demand and the second charge depends on the energy consumption by the load.
Class B trip curve: The MCB with class B trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 3 to 5 times rated current. These MCBs are suitable for cable protection. Hence, For 16 A current Type B MCB disconnect fault at 3*16 = 48 A to 5*16 = 80 A.
