You own a factory that uses several conveyor belts and other motor-driven machineries. Upon measuring the factory's apparent power requirement and power factor, it turns out that it runs at 15 MVA at 0.7 lagging of; therefore, it is too inductive! To avoid electrical code violations, the factory must operate at a pf of at least 0.9 lagging. If the factory is connected to 34.5 kV AC at 60 Hz, what is the size of the compensating capacitor that must be installed to achieve the desired pf level? Express the answer in microfarads. The given voltage can be assumed to be at angle zero.
