A factory operates at 0.80 p. f. lagging and has a monthly demand of 750 Kva. The monthly power rate is Pesos 8.50 per Kva. To improve the power factor 250 Kva capacitors are installed in which there is negligible power loss. The installed cost of equipment is Pesos 20,000 and fixed charges are estimated at 10% per year. Calculate the annual savings effected by the use of capacitors.

1. Derive the formula for the RMS value for the following a) tespe RSITY SAIN
A single-phase, 120V(rms),60Hz source supplies power to a series R-L circuit consisting of R=10 and L=40mH. (a) Determine the power factor of the circuit and state whether it is lagging or leading. (b) Determine the real and reactive power absorbed by the load. (c) Calculate the peak magnetic energy Wint stored in the inductor by using the expression Wint=L(Irms)2 and check whether the reactive power Q=Wint is satisfied. (Note: The instantaneous magnetic energy storage fluctuates between zero and the peak energy. This energy must be sent twice each cycle to the load from the source by means of reactive power flows.)
