10 kW (Pi) induction motors (0.7 lagging power factor)

5 kW lighting (0.85 lagging power factor)

a. Establish the power triangle for the total loading on the supply.


b. Determine the power-factor capacitor required to raise the power factor to unity.


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