The service report summarizes the annual maintenance done on the capacitor bank at DNATA call center on July 8, 2023. The scope of work included capacitance readings, testing relays and contactors, and tightening bolts. The results showed the actual capacitance of all four capacitors was around 50% less than specifications, which is only allowable to be 10% less. It was also found the current transformer was not properly placed to correctly measure the actual building load of 389 amperes. The report recommends relocating the current transformer and replacing the capacitors due to their readings being too far below specifications.

1. Actual Capacitance is 50% less compared to Specifications. Allowable is only 10%
2. Based on the actual reading of Current for the Capacitor bank, it is only is 0.886 amperes compared to the actual loading of the building which is 389 amperes at the time of the measurement. Trace the Current Transformer location and place it in the Line 1 of the MDP Panel to correct the measurement. 3. Since the requirement for the current is less than 1 ampere, the Capacitor Bank Monitor detects that it SHOULD not engage that is why it does not activate the Magnetic Contactors 4. Prepared by:
