    The document calculates the size of a capacitor bank needed to correct the power factor of an electrical load from 0.8 to 0.98. It determines that a 282 kVAR capacitor bank is needed and connects it in a configuration of 8 steps. Installing the capacitor bank would save $9817 annually by reducing demand charges and energy costs.
