A load of 500 kVA operates on 1100 V, 50 Hz mains with power factor of 0.6 lagging. It is required to improve the power factor to 0.95 lagging by using the star connected capacitor bank. Assuming that the load KVA remains constant, suggest the rating of the capacitors.
A system is working at its maximum kVA capacity with a lagging power factor 0·7. An anticipated increase of load can be met by one of the following two methods:
By raising the p.f. of the system to 0·866 by installing phase advancing equipment.
By installing extra generating plant. If the total cost of generating plant is Rs 100 per kVA, estimate the limiting cost per kVA of phase advancing equipment to make its use more economical than the additional generating plant. Interest and depreciation charges may be assumed 10% in each case.
A 25 kVA, 240 V single phase source supply the rated power at the rated voltage to a motor at 0.8 power factor lagging. Find the capacitor bank in order to improve the power factor to 0.9 lagging connected to a motor.a. Calculate the real power, reactive power and current before capacitor bank is connected?
b. Calculate the power and reactive power after capacitor bank is connected?
c.What is kVA rating of capacitor bank QC?
