Question

Three loads connected in parallel across a 1000-V (RMS), 60-Hz single-phase source.
Load 1: Inductive load, 125 kVA, 0.28PF lagging
Load 2: Capacitive load, 10 kW, 40 kVAR
Load 3: Resistive load, 15 kW
a)    Determine the total kW, kvar, kva, and supply power factor.
b)    In order to improve the power factor to 0.8 lagging, a capacitor of negligible resistance is
connected in parallel with the above loads. Find the KVAR rating of that capacitor and the
capacitance in μf .
c)    Comment on the magnitude of the supply current after adding the capacitor
