Find C in the network in the figure below such that the total load has a power factor of 0.90 lagging. C= muF the tolerance is +/-2%
Solution
REACTIVE POWER (0.8 pf)=6KVA*SIN(PI)
COS(PI)=0.8
SIN(PI)=0.6
6*0.6=3.6KVAR
REACTIVE POWER (0.9pf)=6KVA*SIN(PI)
COS(PI)=0.9
SIN(PI)=0.43
REACTIVE POWER (0.9pf)=2.6153 KVAR
SO NET REACTIVE POWER =3.6-2.6153=0.984
V^2*W*C=0.984*1000
V=4.5KV
