Question # 4 An industrial load consists of: A synchronous motor of 150 h.p. Induction motors aggregating 200 h.p., 0.707 power factor lagging and 82 % efficiency. Lighting load aggregating 30 KW. The tariff is Rs. 100 per annum per KVA maximum demand plus 8 paisa per KWH. Compute the following: Total annual bill when synchronous motor runs with 0.8 power factor lagging and efficiency of 94 %? Total annual bill when synchronous motor runs with 0.8 power factor leading and efficiency of 94 %? Annual saving in cost if synchronous motor is operated at leading power factor?

Question # 4

An industrial load consists of:

  1. A synchronous motor of 150 h.p.
  2. Induction motors aggregating 200 h.p., 0.707 power factor lagging and 82 % efficiency.
  3. Lighting load aggregating 30 KW.

The tariff is Rs. 100 per annum per KVA maximum demand plus 8 paisa per KWH.

Compute the following:

  1. Total annual bill when synchronous motor runs with 0.8 power factor lagging and efficiency of 94 %?
  2. Total annual bill when synchronous motor runs with 0.8 power factor leading and efficiency of 94 %?
  3. Annual saving in cost if synchronous motor is operated at leading power factor?
