Question

The load on a 120V, 60 Hz supply is 5 kW (resistive), 8 kVAR (inductive), and 2 kVAR (capacitive).

Calculate the following

 

### Power Factor Correction Exercise

1. **Calculate the current power factor**
   - pf = [Input box] (lagging, leading, or unity)

2. **Calculate the total current before power factor correction**
   - I<sub>before</sub> = [Input box] units

3. **Determine required capacitive reactive power for improvement**
   - If it is desired for the power factor to be improved to 0.90 lagging, how much capacitive reactive power needs to be supplied to the network?
   - Q<sub>need</sub> = [Input box] units

4. **Calculate the total current after power factor correction**
   - I<sub>after</sub> = [Input box] units

*Note: Replace [Input box] with actual input or computational results as applicable.*
