Re: Ballasts and PFC for 15 kVA pig

Hi David,

Wire the PFC caps to the line side of your ballast not the input of the pig.

Also, since I'm starting to pull currents that even tax my 60 amp 240 volt service, I just ordered (10) 100 uFd, 370 VAC power factor running caps and I was wanting to try to PFC the input to my pig with them. Bart's Java TC De- signer states 691 uFd PFC for my setup and I was won- dering how I should wire these caps with the pig's inputs? I assume in parallel with the 240 volt inputs of the pig? I guess I would try 7 of these in parallel with the 240 volt input to the pig first. I've heard it's a bad thing to OVER power factor correct with too much capacitance.

Thanks for any comments,
David Rieben
