Question
A threephase, balanced load is star (wye) connected and
consumes 180 kW from the grid (400Vrms@50Hz). A
capacitor bank (also balanced) of 65 kVAr is connected in
parallel. As a result the total power factor equals 0.90.
a) Determine the power factor of the load (so without capacitor
bank.
b)
The capacitor bank is delta connected. Determine the
capacitance of the capacitors.
