How you get these answers

3.1 A 3-phase, 440-V, 50-Hz motor delivers an output power of 40 kW. The efficiency and power factor
of the motor for the above operating condition are 88% and 0.80 (lagging), respectively.
(a) Determine the complex power drawn by the motor and draw the power triangle.
(b) A 3-phase capacitor bank is added at the motor terminals to improve the power factor to 0.95
lagging. Determine the KVA rating of the capacitor bank. What would be the capacitance per
phase if the capacitor bank is (i) A-connected (ii) Y-connected?
(c) If the motor is supplied through a cable having an impedance of (0.1+j0.3) /phase, determine the
cable copper loss and voltage at sending-end of the cable before and after adding the capacitor
bank. Assume that the motor terminal voltage remains constant at 440 V.
[(a) (45.45+j34.1) kVA; (b) 19.2 kVAr, 105.2 µuF, 315.8 µF; (c) 1.67 kW, 473.6 V, 1.18 kW, 461.2 V]
