Problem 11.34. At full load, a commercially available 106 hp, three-phase induction motor operates at an efficiency of 96% and a power factor of 0.87 lag. The motor is supplied from a three-phase outlet with a line-voltage rating of 208 V.
1. What is the magnitude of the line current in Ampere drawn from the 208 V outlet? (1 hp = 746 W).
2. Calculate the reactive power in kVAR supplied to the motor.
The power factor of a certain load is improved to 0.92 lagging with the addition of a 30 kVAR bank of capacitors. If the resulting supply apparent power is 200 kVA, determine the power factor before correction.
