Question: A three - phase 4 2 3 . 6 9 kW , 0 . 8 2 pf lagging, 4 1 6 0 V , wye

A three-phase 423.69kW,0.82pf lagging, 4160V,wye-connected induction motor has a full load efficiency of 88%at a lagging power factor of 0.75,and is connected to a feeder. In order to correct the power factor of the load to a lagging power factor of 0.9by connecting three capacitors at the load. Find:
a)The rating of the capacitor bank
b)The capacitance of each unit if the capacitors are connected in delta
