Question

The load at a certain factory consists of the following:
10 kW, pf = 0.6 lagging
15 kW, rf = 0.5 lagging
25 kVA, pf = 0.75 lagging
15 kVAR, pf = 0.8 lagging
22 kW
5 kVAR, pure inductance

1.  The power factor is to be corrected to 0.95 lagging. Determine the kVAR rating of pure capacitors needed to accomplish this.
