Question: A 4 0 0 - V , 3 - phase induction motor load takes 9 0 0 kVA at a power factor of 0 .

A 400-V,3-phase induction motor load takes 900 kVA at a power factor of 0.707. Calculate the kVA
rating of the capacitor bank to raise the resultant power factor of the installation of 0.866 lagging.
Find also the resultant power factor when the capacitors are in circuit and the motor load has fallen to
300 kVA at 0.5 power factor
