3. A single phase motor draws 20 kVA at 0.70 lagging power factor from a 120 V source. The PUD desires to improve the power factor to 0.9 lagging by connecting a shunt capacitor bank across the terminals of the motor. Determine the size of the capacitor bank in VARS. Calculate the following: [SO 1] a) What are the initial load current, real and reactive powers of the load? What are the real and reactive power after adding the capacitor bank? c) b) What is the kVAr rating of the capacitor bank? (3) d) What is the load current? di) How is the load current affected by the load reactive power?

The synchronous motor is an AC electric type motor where at a steady-state the shaft rotation is synchronized with the supply current variable-frequency. To an integral number of AC cycles, the rotation period is exactly equal. The stator of the motor in…
