Calculate Size of Capacitor Bank

Electrical Load of (1) 2 No’s of 120KW, 415V motor, 90% Efficiency, 0.8 P.F. (2) 2 No’s of 150KW, 415V motor, 90% Efficiency, 0.8 P.F. (3) 100KW, 415V Lighting Load. The targeted P.F. Of system is 0.98 Calculate Size of Discharge Resister for discharging of Capacitor Bank Discharge rate of capacitor is 55v in less than 1 minute. Also calculate reduction in KVAR Rating of capacitor if Capacitor bank is operated at frequency of 30Hz instead of 50Hz and if operating voltage is 390V instead of 415V Calculation:  For Connection (1): Total Load KW for Connection (1) =KW / Efficiency=(120×2) / 0.9=266.67KW  Total Load KVAR1= KW×([(√1-(Old P.F.)^2) / Old P.F.] - [(√1-(New P.F.)^2 / New P.F])   Total Load KVAR1=266.67×([(√1-(0.8)^2) / 0.8] - [(√1-(0.98)^2) / 0.98])    Total Load KVAR1=145.98 KVAR  OR  Total Load KVAR1= KW×(tanϕ1- tanϕ2) =266.67×(tan 36.87 - tan 11.48)              ...

Hardness and Hardness Testers

Every metal have its own physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Brittleness, Creep, Ductility, Elasticity, Fatigue, Hardness, Malleability, Plasticity, Resilience, Stiffness, Toughness, Yield strength are the some mechanical properties of metals. In this post I am specifically going to talk about Hardness. Hardness A material’s ability to withstand friction, essentially abrasion resistance, is known as hardness  cutting tool would break apart if specimen have a more hardness than tool itself. That's why drill bits and cutting tools are made of hard metals, harder than the specimen. More Hardness Doesn't Mean More Strength Glass have a more hardness than steel in general. It is harder to scratch glass than the steel because glass have a higher hardness. Hardness in Steel Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron have a very low hardness but addition of carbon increases the hardness of iron making it steel. Heat Treatment (hardening, case hardenin...
