The lighting and motor loads of a small factory establish a 10 kVA power demand at a 0.7 lagging power factor on a 208 V, 60 Hz supply.

a. Establish the power triangle for the load.


b. Determine the power-factor capacitor that must be placed in parallel with the load to raise the power factor to unity.


c. Determine the change in supply current from the uncompensated to the compensated system.


d. Repeat parts (b) and (c) if the power factor is increased to 0.9.
