What it represents
A three-phase capacitor assembly provides a documented reactive-power function connected to the power circuit. The schematic needs its connection, switching and protective devices as separate elements.
How to read it
- State rated kvar at the specified system voltage and frequency.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- Record kvar and voltage
- Show connection and switching
- Reference discharge/protection arrangement
A distinction that matters
A power-factor capacitor is a power-circuit assembly, not a generic small-signal filter capacitor.
