Question

Shunt capacitors in sub stations 

A.

consume lagging VAR 

B.

deliver lagging VAR 

C.

consume active power 

D.

deliver active power

Answer ( Option B)

deliver lagging VAR 

Solution

Shunt capacitor banks are primarily used to improve the power factor of the network. They operates at leading power factor to compensate the lagging power factor of system occurs due to inductive load of system. So shunt capacitor absorbs leading VAR and Delivers lagging VAR to system.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
