The analysis of power factor improvement on inductive electrical load on Sultan Hasanuddin training ship.

The principal issue discussed in this research is the Analysis of Power Factor Improvement on Inductive Electrical Load on the Ship (A Case Study on Sultan Hasanuddin Training Ship). Based on the principle of these problems, the research aimed to compare the inductive electrical load of the ship and analyze the influence of capacitor banks installation on the inductive electrical load used continuously. The method of calculation used in this paper is the triangle power method. This study will prove that the addition of capacitor power will affect the current value flowing to the Water Cond Enmax load. The decrease of the electric current is visible in the value of the 29 µF capacitors from 3.94A to 3.43A. On the contrary, after adding the value of the capacitors to 35 µF, the electric current improved significantly. The addition of power capacitors will affect the amount of the current flowing to the load Water Cond Bitzer. The decrease of the electric current is visible on the value of the capacitor 305 µF than ever 50,38 A 42,40 A. On the contrary, adding the value of the capacitor to 325 µF could improve the flow of electricity. The amount of the active power (watt) of electrical load does not significantly impact the addition of a capacitor. Still, the apparent power changes so that the amount of the electric current will decrease, accompanied by the improvement of the power factor. The addition of capacitors that are not suitable will lead to the increase of the electrical load current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
