It can be seen that the voltage at the end of the capacitor increases with the increase of the reactance rate, and then the insulation requirements of the capacitor are also improved. The voltage of a capacitor which has the series reactor will be increased, and the amplitude of the increase is related to the percent of the series reactor.
Taking into account that the 5th harmonic exceeds the limit, the reactance rate of 5 % should be used. The parallel capacitor reactance rate of a capacitor has great influence on switching inrush current, harmonic suppression, a capacitor’ effective capacity and the capacitor’s insulation requirements.
We can calculate the reactance of a capacitor at any particular frequency using the expression: where C is the capacitance in farads and f is the frequency. We can see from this that the magnitude of the reactance of a capacitor decreases proportionally with frequency. But hold on! Capacitors are more than ‘frequency-dependent resistors’.
A capacitor with a sinusoidal voltage of frequency f across it will have a sinusoidal current flowing through it. The ratio of the voltage to the current is known as the ‘reactance’ of the capacitor at frequency f. The situation is analogous to that with a resistor, and the unit of reactance is again ohms. And Ohm's Law again applies:
Capacitive reactance is the opposition presented by a capacitor to the flow of alternating current (AC) in a circuit. Unlike resistance, which remains constant regardless of frequency, capacitive reactance varies with the frequency of the AC signal. It is denoted by the symbol XC and is measured in ohms (Ω).
