power factor correction

Using shunt capacitors, the power factor of a 3-phase, 4 kV induction motor (drawing 390 kVA at 0.77 pf lag) is to be improved to 0.85 pf lag. The line current of the capacitor ban...

A three-phase cable is supplying $$800$$ kW and $$600$$ kVAr to an inductive load. It is intended to supply an additional resistive load of $$100$$ kW through the same cable withou...

The complex power consumed by a constant-voltage load is given by $$\left( {{P_1} + {J_{q1}}} \right).\,\,$$ Where, $$\,1\,\,kW \le \,\,{P_1} \le \,\,\,1.5\,\,kW\,\,\,$$ and $$\,\,...

A $$400V$$, $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ three phase balanced source supplies power to a star connected load whose rating is $$12\,\,\angle 3\,\,kVA,$$ $$0.8$$ $$pf$$ (lag). The rating $$($$in $...

A $$400$$ V, $$50$$ Hz, three phase balanced source supplies power to a star connected load whose rating is $$12\sqrt 3 $$ kVA, $$0.8$$ pf(lag). The rating (in kVAR) of the delta c...

A balanced delta connected load of $$\left( {8 + j6} \right)\Omega $$ per phase is connected to a $$400$$ $$V$$, $$50$$ $$Hz$$, $$3-$$phase supply lines. If the input power factor...

A balanced delta connected load of $$\left( {8 + j6} \right)$$ $$\Omega $$ per phase is connected to a $$400V,$$ $$50Hz,$$ $$3-$$ phase supply lines. If the input power factor is t...

A 3-phase, 11 kV, 50 Hz, 200 kW load has a power factor of 0.8 lag. A delta connected 3-phase capacitor is used to improve the power factor to unity. The capacitance power phase of...

A circuit consisting of a single resistor $$R$$ and an inductor $$L$$ in series is driven by a $$25$$ $$V$$ $$rms,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz$$ sinusoidal voltage source. A capacitor is to be p...

A factory draws $$100$$ kW at $$0.7$$ p.f. lagging from a $$3$$-phase, $$11$$ kV supply. It is desired to the p.f. to $$0.95$$ lagging using series capacitors. Calculate the rating...
