Jon Risch: Power Correction Factor Calculation Results

206.173.186.91

worst case scenario:

at 80% power factor the load will draw 38.4kW resistive and 29kVA reactive inductive.

29kVA reactive capacitive will require a 1300ufd cap with a 300Vac or greater rating and UL listing.

at 0.020 ohms ESR, it will dissipate 288W.

I will price out various cap values in the 650 to 1300ufd range with the previously mentioned ratings.
