Generators have rating in KVA. Our electrical load is in KW. As your power factor improves, you can load more kW without increasing kVA, i.e. for0.8 pf, kVA =0.8kW ; for1 pf kVA = kW. Don't go beyond this. This is more realistic with APMC panels.
With manual capacitor banks, there are chances of DG overrun when suddenly the load falls & capacitors remain in circuit.
It improves power factor of the Network but it must be connected through P.F controller because over capacitive condition in the distribution network may damage the AVR card of the generator
improve power factor
No doubt it improve the PF, but what is needed to achieve.
it increase the pf of system & smooth the running of generator ..
this will improve the power factor
It helps to improve power factor according to engine capacity but keep in mind that if it is overloaded then it also consumed extra watt depending upon the power factor imporvement
it is not recommended .the capacitor bank has bad effect on generator
