Capacitor Sizing Calculator — Free Online Calculator

Calculate the capacitor kVAR needed for power factor correction. Reduce electricity bills and improve system efficiency.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your load in kW, current power factor, and target power factor.

The Formula Explained

kVAR = kW × (tan(arccos(PF_current)) - tan(arccos(PF_target))). This is the reactive power that must be supplied by capacitors to improve the power factor.
