17. A manufacturing plant has a load of 3,600 kva at a lagging power factor of 0.707. A 500-hp synchronous motor having an efficiency of 90 per cent is installed and is used also to improve the over-all power factor to 0.937 lagging. Calculate the kilovolt-ampere input rating of the synchronous motor and the power factor at which it must operate.
