A small industry takes a steady load of 350 kW at a lagging power factor of 0·707 for 3000 hours a year. The tariff is Rs 130 per kVA of maximum demand annually and 4 paise per kWh. The annual cost of phase advancing plant is Rs 13 per kVAR. Examine the annual saving if the power factor of the load is improved?
Sinusoids And Phasors
Sinusoids are defined as the mathematical waveforms that are used to describe the nature of periodic oscillations.
Circuit Theory
Electric circuits are a network that comprises of a closed-loop, which helps in providing a return path for the current through a switch. When the switch is activated, the load operates, and the current accepts a path to finish the circuit at a low potential level from the opposing high potential level. Electric circuits theory is a linear analysis that helps in establishing a linear relation of voltage and current for R (resistance), L (inductance), and C (capacitance).
