Example: In a 400 V unit the smallest capacitor is of 60 kvar with a current transformer having
a ratio of 500/5, and the calculation would be made as follows:
Current of the smallest capacitor Ic:
K Factor
The C/K value is: 0.866.
If the power of 60 kvar is referenced at 440 V, it should be multiplied by Vgrid

in which case the C/K value of the previous example would be 0.72.
