Answer to Question #158850 in Electrical Engineering for Theo

Question

A factory has an operating load of 40kw and a power factor of 0.45 lagging the factory is supplied from a 3 phase 400v supply

calculate the load current of the factory

calculate the KVAr of the factory at 0.45 power factor lagging

the factory operators are required to improve the power factor to 0.9 lagging calculate the KVAr of the capacitor for this operation

calculate the load current drawn by the factory after the power factor correction has been done

Answer 1

KVAr required = 106.95 Kvra
