A 96 kVA load operates at 0.79 lagging power factor when connected to a 230 V, 60Hz AC source. The power factor is to be improved to 0.93 lagging. The power factor is to be corrected by a capacitor bank. However, the capacitors are loosely connected and take 34 kW when connected to a 230V, 60Hz AC source. What is the kVAR rating of the capacitor bank?
