Question: 1 0 . 3 3 The steady - state voltage drop between the load and the sending end of the line seen in Fig. P

10.33 The steady-state voltage drop between the load and the sending end of the line seen in Fig. P10.33 is excessive. A capacitor is placed in parallel with the 150 kVA load and is adjusted until the steady-state voltage at the sending end of the line has the same magnitude as the voltage at the load end, that is,4800V(rms). The 150 kVA load is operating at a power factor of 0.8 lag. Calculate the size of the capacitor in microfarads if the circuit is operating at 60 Hz . In selecting the capacitor, keep in mind the need to keep the power loss in the line at a reasonable level.
