PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN KAPASITOR BANK TERHADAP FAKTOR DAYA PADA SISTEM KELISTRIKAN DI RSUD DR. ZAINOEL ABIDIN THE EFFECT OF USE CAPASITOR BANK TO THE POWER FACTOR IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT RSUD DR. ZAINOEL ABIDIN

ABSTRACK THE EFECT OF USE CAPACITOR BANK TO POWER FACTOR IN THEELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT RSUD dr. ZAINOEL ABIDIN By SURYA RAHMAD 1404005010021 The standart power faktor (Cos ) set by PLN for customers which useslarge power faktor is 0,85. If power factor (Cos ) is blow 0,85 then the reactivepower will be measured and taken into account in determining the amount of thebill paid. The power factor (Cos ) which received by RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidinis quite low at 0,8, so thet it is not enough the power faktor (Cos ) requirementsset by PLN. So RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin must pay the reactive power. The largenumber of electrical equipment such as electromedics and other electrical devicesthat are inductive causes increated reactive power. There for RSUD dr. ZainoelAbidin uses capasitor bank which can correct the power factor (Cos ). RSUD dr.Zainoel Abidin set the standard value of power faktor (Cos ) 0,95, so there is noneed to pay for reactive power (kVARh) to the PLN. With capasitor bank atRSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin it can suppress reactive power, so that it can maximizeavaiblable power usage, reduce overload and reduce losses on the power line.Capasitor bank at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin has capacity 3x500 kVAR with 12steps for each panel. Improving the power faktor, it can maintain the quality ofhealth services at RSUD dr.
