2. Three-Phase System
Three loads are connected in parallel to a 12.47 kV, 60 Hz three-phase supply.
Load 1: Inductive load, 60 kW and 660 KVAR
Load 2: Capacitive load, 240 kW at 0.8 . power factor
Load 3: Resistive load 60 kW
Define:
a. Active power, reactive power and total apparent power?
b. Total power factor ?
c. What is the total supply current?
A Y-connected capacitor bank, connected in parallel with
load, to improve the overall power factor to 0.95 lagging.
Define:
d. Total capacitor capacity (KVAR)?
e. Capacitance of a phased capacitor (UF)?
f. How big is the line current after the capacitor bank is installed?
