3) An industrial load consisting of a bank of induction motors consumes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging from a ...-V, 60-Hz, single-phase source. By placing a bank of capacitors in parallel with the load, the resultant power factor is to be raised to 0.95 lagging. Find the net capacitance of the capacitor bank in µF that is required. (Please determine the voltage magnitude within the specified limits: 230-260 V. By considering the voltage magnitude value you determined yourself, solve the question.)
