Capacitor Bank Design for Engineers

The document summarizes the calculation of a capacitor bank for a storm water reservoir and pump station project in Doha, Qatar. The required rating is 415V, 312.5 kVAR. The equivalent reactance is calculated to be 0.5511 ohms. Based on this, the required capacitor voltage is determined to be 446.18V. The capacitor bank will consist of 8 stages totaling 312.5 kVAR using 1 x 15 kVAR capacitor and 12 x 30 kVAR capacitors rated for 480V.
