- electricpy.passive.farads(VAR, V, freq=60)[source]¶
Capacitance from Apparent Power Formula.
Function to calculate the required capacitance in Farads to provide the desired power rating (VARs).
\[C = \frac{VAR}{2*\pi*freq*V^2}\]- Parameters:
VAR (float) – The rated power to meet.
V (float) – The voltage across the capacitor; not described as VLL or VLN, merely the capacitor voltage.
freq (float, optional) – The System frequency
- Returns:
C – The evaluated capacitance (in Farads).
- Return type:
float
