Problem 11.6: Determine the capacitor rating in KVAR and also in farad to improve the load pf from 0.75 lagging to 0.95 lagging at a 3-phase, 60 Hz, 480 V distribution point delivering 2400 kW real power. Also determine the simple payback period for the capacitor cost. Assume that the motor runs for 400 hours per month, the utility demand charge is $15 per kVA, energy charge is $0.15 per kWh, capacitor cost is $70 per KVAR installed, and cable power loss is 1% per phase.
