Question
A 50 kW induction motor is operated at a lagging power factor of 0.8,
the source voltage being 230 V rms.
a) Find the complex power Sm that this motor is using.
b) In order to get lower electricity bill it is desired to connect a
parallel compensator to the motor so as to get pf=0.95 lagging
and still provide the 50kW real power for the motor.
Determine the total complex power Sr= Sm+ Sc that will achieve
the desired pf, where Sc is the power of the compensator
c) Determine the complex power Sc of the compensator and the
value of the parallel compensator impedance. What type of circuit
element should be the compensator?
