Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11316
The Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank is a capacitive reactive-load apparatus used for AC circuit, reactive-power and power-factor experiments. It is intended for engineering colleges, polytechnics, universities, TVET institutes and supervised electrical laboratories that need to demonstrate leading current and capacitive compensation under controlled conditions.
Product Description
The Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank has a stated reactive-power capacity of 3 kVAR. In a capacitive AC circuit, current leads voltage. When correctly rated and connected, a capacitor bank can also offset part of the lagging reactive power produced by an inductive load.
The apparatus supports practical comparison of resistive, inductive and capacitive circuit behaviour. The supplied data does not specify operating voltage, frequency, phase configuration, capacitance, connection method, load steps, discharge arrangement, enclosure material, dimensions or duty rating. These parameters must be confirmed before ordering or energising the bank.

How to Use the Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank
Confirm the approved voltage, frequency, phase and reactive-power ratings.
Place the bank in a dry, stable and ventilated operating area.
Isolate the electrical supply before making connections.
Inspect earthing, terminals, cables, switching devices and protection.
Confirm that the capacitors are fully discharged.
Connect the bank according to the authorised circuit diagram.
Energise the circuit under qualified supervision.
Apply capacitor stages gradually, where stepped control is provided.
Monitor voltage, current, reactive power and power factor.
Isolate the supply and verify discharge before touching or disconnecting terminals.
Safety note: Capacitors can retain hazardous electrical charge after isolation. Use the specified discharge procedure and verify zero voltage before handling any terminal.
Care and Maintenance
Keep terminals, controls and ventilation areas clean and dry.
Inspect cables, earthing and switching components before every session.
Store the bank disconnected and fully discharged.
Arrange periodic inspection by qualified electrical personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank used for?
It is used for capacitive-load, reactive-power, leading power-factor and power-factor correction experiments in compatible AC circuits.
What does the 3 kVAR rating mean?
The 3 kVAR value identifies the stated reactive-power capacity. It is not the same as 3 kW of active power.
Is the capacitor bank single-phase or three-phase?
The phase configuration was not supplied. Buyers should confirm the required phase, voltage and frequency before ordering.
Can it improve the power factor of an inductive load?
Yes, when correctly sized and connected. Excessive capacitance can cause overcompensation, so measurements and calculations are required.
Can the capacitor bank retain charge after switching off?
Yes. Capacitors may retain charge after isolation. The bank must be discharged and tested before its terminals are touched.
Can students use the 3 kVAR capacitor bank?
Students may use it only under direct supervision in a properly protected electrical laboratory.
