POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
1201 As governed and required by the Ministerial Decree No. 5/2010 dated 18th January 2010, the power factor
of the electrical distribution systems shall be maintained within 0.95 lagging and unity.
1202 The power factor correction equipment shall be designed and installed in accordance with the latest
“Specification for Capacitor Banks to improve Power Factor in Low Voltage Electrical Distribution Systems” as
issued by the Capacitor Bank Section–Transmission Electrical Networks Sector - MEW.
1203 The approval of the capacitor banks shall be dealt with by the Capacitor Bank Section –Transmission
Electrical Networks Sector - MEW.
1204 The normal rating of the power factor correction equipment shall be the maximum continuous rating at
an ambient temperature of 52 oC (Fifty-two degrees centigrade) as frequently encountered in Kuwait during the
peak summer days and the equipment shall give continuous trouble free service in this high ambient temperature.
1205 The power factor correction equipment shall be from one of the approved manu facturers of the Ministry
of Electricity & Water and must be approved by MEW.
1206 The owner and/or his consultant or contractor shall prepare and furnish to the Capacitor Bank Section of
MEW, all required drawings, documents, design calculations and other information as asked in the above
mentioned specification for approval of the power factor correction equipment.
1207 Only the power factor correction equipment which has been type tested in accordance with the above
mentioned specification and for which type test reports and certificates from an independent laboratory (ASTA,
DEKRA or, CESI) have been made available to the Ministry, shall be installed.
1208 The electrical room wherein the capacitor banks will be installed shall have suitable air -conditioning
systems to ensure uninterrupted operation of the power factor correction equipment.
1209 The testing and commissioning of the power factor correction equipment shall be carried out by qualified
and trained manufacturer‟s and/or local agent‟s engineer/specialist.
