Features:
- Fixed capacitor banks are electrical devices designed to provide reactive power to electric power systems
- They consist of capacitors that are permanently connected to the power system and do not have any means of controlling the amount of reactive power supplied
- The primary purpose of fixed capacitor banks is to compensate for the reactive power demand of inductive loads, such as motors and transformers
- Inductive loads draw reactive power from the power system, which can cause voltage drops and system instability if not properly compensated for
- By providing reactive power, fixed capacitor banks can improve system efficiency
- They reduce voltage drops and improve power factor
