Data Center Electrical Calculator
Power Factor Correction Calculator
Calculate the capacitor bank (kVAR) needed to correct power factor to a target value, per IEEE 141, with the resulting reduction in apparent power (kVA).
Design Inputs
Results
Required Capacitor Bank
42.13 kVAR
Capacitor Current
58.62 A
Apparent Power Reduction
19.74 kVA
Apparent power before correction125.00 kVA
Apparent power after correction105.26 kVA
Per IEEE 141. Verify the capacitor bank's rated voltage and confirm no harmonic resonance risk with the site's load profile (IEC 61000-3-6) before installation.

Conductor Sizing
Four independent IEC/IS-aligned sizing tools in one place — HT cables, LV cables, busducts and earthing conductors — each checking ampacity, voltage drop, and short-circuit withstand rather than giving a rough estimate.
Transformer Sizing
Size a power transformer to the nearest standard IEC 60076 kVA rating from connected load, power factor and spare capacity, with primary and secondary full-load current.
UPS Selection
Size a UPS system across Single, N, N+1, Distributed, 2N and 2(N+1) redundancy philosophies, with losses, battery charging load, and standard kVA rating libraries.
Generator (DG) Sizing
Size a standby diesel generator set per ISO 8528, sized on the larger of steady-state running load and the voltage-dip-limited starting requirement of the largest motor.
