It is desired to purchase a synchronous condenser to correct the 2,400-KVA 0.67-lagging power factor load in an industrial plant to 0.95 lagging. Neglect losses, calculate: (a) the kilovolt-ampere input rating of the required synchronous condenser; (b) the total kilovoltamperes of the plant. Using the phasor diagram.
