Question

Two loads connected in parallel draw a total of 4 kW at 0.68pf lagging from a 120-v ms, 60-Hz line. One load absorbs 3.3 kVAR at a 0.6 pf lagging. Determine: 

a) The pf of the second load

b) The capacitor value in Farads required to correct the overall pf from 0.68 to 0.9 lagging for combine loads. 

c) The current drawn from the supply under the new power factor of 09.
