How to check whether the power factor capacitors are OK or not???

Thanks,

Dear Asifham,

The power factor of every capacitor is always zero, so we cannot decide whether the capacitor is ok or not ok by power factor measurement. The simple way is to measure the capacity (Farad) if you have the tools, or it can be calculated by current measurement (I=ampere), where:

I = V / Xc, V : voltage on the network
Xc = 1/(2�fC),
� = 3,14
f = frequency (Hz)
C = capacitance (Farad)
