Q3) Power Factor and Correction [10 Marks]:
A load is supplied with a 600V(rms),60Hz voltage source. The electrical demand consists of a 75 kW load at 0.75 lagging power factor.
a) Determine the power factor angle. [1]
b) Determine reactive power, apparent power, and show an appropriately labeled power triangle. [3]
c) Determine the input current including the phase. [1]
d) How much reactive power (kVARs) of capacitance must be placed in parallel to bring the power factor above 0.92 lagging? [3]
e) With the capacitance added in part (d), what is the new input current in phasor form? [2]
