Formula of Series Capacitors and Parallel Capacitors

Parallel Capacitors. When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors'' capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in parallel, the overall effect is that of a single equivalent capacitor having the sum total of the plate areas of the individual capacitors.

Series Compensation

Series compensation is the method of improving the system voltage by connecting a capacitor in series with the transmission line. In other words, in series compensation, reactive power is inserted in series with the transmission line for improving the impedance of the system. Thus, it improves the power transfer capability of the line. Series capacitors …
