Can a capacitor bank improve generator efficiency with lighting and power loads?

[faslurahman.ek]

Dear All,
How can I improve the efficiency of a generator which is connected to common lighting and power loads? If there any use of capacitor bank in the Main Panel side if there only using the generator supply

Hello Fasl... Welcome.

I am not really sure what you mean by " If there any use of capacitor bank in the Main Panel side if there only using the generator supply"

However - if the power factor of the loads ( summed) is poor then adding capacitors will help efficiency. Usually when someone is asking about efficiency like this they are looking for more than a few % that this will gain.

Keeping in mind the LEAST efficient element in a generator is the combustion, if you are using gas or diesel ( internal combustion ) engine - the biggest improvement will be to make sure this is tuned, properly sized and the fuel is good ( dry, clean - etc)
