load. The motor load itself has a power factor pf of 0.6 lagging. If the supply voltage is 1000 vms at 60 Hz, determine,

Solution

The given problem is about finding the valueof. Compensating capacitor requiredforthe above case. For the improvement of powerfactor.

Here we are given an inductive motor operating with powerfactor 0.6 needs to be improved to 0.95.This can be This can be done by connecting a capacitor bank in parallel with motor. This is because the iinductor consumes the reactive power and capacitors supply the reactive power. Thus when both of theseare connected in parallel the reactive power can be compensated.

Apparent power is the vector sum of both active and reactive powers
