A factory has an electrical load of 1600 kW at a lagging power factor of 0.8 and fed from a line having an impedance of 0.05+j0.4 N. The voltage at the factory is maintained at 2350 V (rms). An additional variable power factor load is to be added to the factory. The new load will add 320 kW to the real power load of the factory. The power factor of the added load is to be adjusted so that the overall power factor of the factory is 0.96 lagging.
