Chapter 2, Problem 2.27P

An industrial load consisting of a bank of induction motors consumes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging from a 220-V, 60-Hz, single-phase source. By placing a bank of capacitors in parallel with the load, the resultant power factor is to be raised to 0.95 lagging. Find the net capacitance of the capacitor bank in μ F that is required.

A load consisting of induction motors is drawing 40 kW average real power from a 110-V (RMS), 6 Hz power line at a power factor of 0.7. We need to improve the p.f. to 0.9. a) Are we going to add a capacitor or an inductor to correct the power factor? b) How large is the capacitor or inductor? Add a capacitor in series with load and C= 247UF Add a capacitor in parallel with the load and C= 4699uF O Add an inductor in series with load and L- 30uH O Add an inductor in series with the load andL= 0.9H
