Since transmitting reactive power over long distances is not feasible, power systems integrate power factor correction capacitors to provide local reactive power compensation. With a wide range of options available and with the tremendous changes that have occurred over the past few decades, a comprehensive, up-to-date book on power factor capacitors is long overdue. Power System Capacitors fills this void by providing the fundamentals, applications, protection issues, and system impacts for a broad spectrum of capacitor applications. Power System Capacitors guides you through the practical installations with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. The author describes the fundamentals of capacitors focused on the power factor correction, industry standards, capacitor specifications, protection of shunt capacitors, maintenance of capacitor banks, and system impact issues. He also discusses the selection of supporting equipment such as fuses, circuit breakers, and surge arresters; includes more than 290 illustrations, 90 tables, and 400 equations; and explains how to perform an economic analysis. Offering up-to-date computer-aided analysis approaches along with fundamental concepts, maintenance concerns, and economic analysis, Power System Capacitors steers you through the selection, design, installation, and maintenance of power factor correction capacitors used in modern power systems. This is a valuable tool for any power system engineer in industry, utilities, consulting, and practical power system evaluation.

A long and varied experience in many areas of electronic circuit design has convinced me that capacitors are the most misunderstood and misused electronic component. This book provides practical guidance in the understanding, construction, use, and application of capacitors. Theory, combined with circuit application advice, will help to under stand what goes on in each component and in the final design. All chapters are arranged with the theory of the dielectric type discussed first, followed by circuit application information. With all chapters arranged in the same manner, this will make reading and using this book for reference easier. A practical glossary of terms used in the capacitor industry is included. The first chapter covers basic information that applies to all types of capacitors. Each following chapter addresses a different capacitor dielectric. This book could have been titled: 'Everything You Wanted To Know About Capacitors, But Were Afraid To Ask .. .' ix Preface THE CAPACITOR HANDBOOK Chapter 1 Fundamentals For All Capacitors For all practical purposes, consider only the parallel plate capacitor as illustrated in Fig. 1.1-two conductors or electrodes separated by a dielectric material of uniform thickness. The conductors can be any material that will conduct electricity easily. The dielectric must be a poor conductor-an insulator.

Welcome to Basics of Capacitor! This is a nonfiction science book which contains various topics on basics of Capacitor. A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device which uses an electric charge to store energy. It is made up of two electrical conductors separated by a distance. The space between the conductors can be filled with a vacuum or a dielectric, which is an insulating material. Capacitance refers to the capacitor's ability to store charges. Capacitors store energy by keeping opposing charges apart. A parallel plate capacitor is the most basic type of capacitor, consisting of two metal plates with a gap between them. Capacitors come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, lengths, girths, and materials. The ratio of a system's change in electric charge to the corresponding change in its electric potential is known as capacitance. The capacitance of any capacitor can be either fixed or variable, depending on its usage. Apart from charge and voltage, capacitance also depends on the shape and size of the capacitor and also on the insulator used between the conducting plates. Capacitors are used for storing energy, power conditioning and signal processing. This is the first edition of the book. Thanks for reading the book.
