Question

A 50 kW load operates from a 60 Hz 10 kV rms line with a power factorof 60% lagging. Determine the capacitance that must be placed inparallel with the load to achieve a 90% lagging power factor

David · Accepted Answer

Power drawn by load (P) = 50kW 
Voltage across load (V) = 10kV 
Power factor of load (     = 0.6 
Current drawn           
I = 50/10*0.6 = 8.33 A 
To improve source power factor,

A 50 kW load operates from a 60 Hz 10 kV rms line with a power factorof 60% lagging. Determine the capacitance that must be placed inparallel with the load to achieve a 90% lagging power factor
