Shunt Capacitor Definition: A shunt capacitor is defined as a device used to improve power factor by providing capacitive reactance to counteract inductive reactance in electrical power systems. Power Factor Compensation: Shunt capacitors help improve the power factor, which reduces line losses and improves voltage regulation in power systems.

This document provides standard requirements and general guidelines for the design, performance, testing and application of low-voltage dry-type alternating current (AC) power capacitors rated 1,000V or lower, and for connection to low-voltage distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
Connection Methods: Shunt capacitor banks can be connected in star or delta configurations, with grounded star connections offering advantages like reduced recovery voltage and better surge protection.
