What are kvar ratings for capacitors?

5.2 Typical voltage and reactive power (kvar) ratings for capacitor units. A brief description of the nominal ratings (i.e. kvar, voltage, capacitance) that are typical of the low-voltage AC power capacitors of concern.

How many Kva is a short circuit current?

2 of 500 kVA with transient reactance of 30 %, the short circuit current is made at approx. 2.5 kA, i.e. at a value 16 times weaker than with the Main source. The ratings of the protection devices for the sub-distribution and final distribution circuits are always lower than the generator rated current.

Who provides LV connected embedded generators in South Africa?

In South Africa this may be Eskom, or the municipal electricity service provider. Annexures A and B are for information only. This section of NRS 097 is intended to guide South African distributors in terms of simple rules to be applied when applications for LV connected embedded generators are being assessed.
