Question

The 60-Hz line voltage for a 60-kW, 0.76-pf lagging industrial load is 2400\angle 0^{\circ} V rms. Find the value of capacitance that when placed in parallel with the load will raise the power factor to 0.9 lagging.

Step 1
1 of 7

In order to find the capacitance value, we have to calculate the reactive power before the compensation (load power factor) and the reactive power after the compensation (load + capacitance power factor).
