A building has an overall power factor of 0.75 lagging.
The required power factor is 0.85.
The voltage provided to the building is 480 V at 60 Hz, and the building consumes 29,000 VA of power
Find the value of the capacitor (in VARs and Farads) you must connect to the load to increase the required power factor of 0.85.
IN QUESTION THEY MUST MENTION IT IS 3 PHASE SUPPLY AND WHETHER CAPACITORS ARE STAR OR DELTA CONNECTED. HERE WE CONSIDER IT AS DELTA CONNECTED AND SOLVED.
IF IT IS STAR CONNECTED CAPACITOR THE IN PLACE OF V IT SHOULD BE V/ROOT3 AND REMAINING IS ALL SAME. PLEASE GO THROUGH IT.
