An industrial customer is fined if the power factor of the plant falls below 0.85. The equivalent loads of the plant are: 30 lamps of 400 W, an Electric Oven with an impedance of (2.4 + j3.2) and a load of 80 kW due to an engine block. The three charges are in parallel. Induction motors have a power factor of 0.8 and a performance of 0.98. The customer has a 600V, 60Hz supply. a) Calculate the average power...
A small factory has different types of loads which are grouped together as follows A) induction motors : 1200 hp, 0.8 lag PF B) Heating loads: 100kW at unity PF A 3 phase synchronous motor is installed at the factory to improve the factory's overall power factor. Calculate how much reactively power per phase the synchronous motor must supply to the system to maintain an overall power factor of 0.9 lagging. 1 hp = 0.746 kW together as follows: a....
An industrial plant consisting primarily of induction motor loads absorbs 1200kW at 0.65 power factor lagging. Compute the required kVA rating of a shunt capacitor to improve the power factor to 0.95 leading.

4.6. A 460-V, 75 kW, 4-pole, delta-connected, 60-Hz, three- phase induction motor has a full-load slip of 5 percent, an efficiency of 92 percent and a power-factor of 0.87 lagging at full-load. At start-up, the motor develops 1.9 times the full load developed torque but draws 7.5 times the rated current at the rated voltage. This motor is to be started with an auto- transformer reduced-voltage starter. Assume the stator resistance and the stator core loss to be negligible. Calculate...
