Question

Consider the following parallel connected loads with the following characteristics
L1: 1.2kW purely resistive
L2: 2.5kW, 0.8 pf lag
L3: 1.8kW, 0.72 pf lag

Find the total real power (in kW) consumed by the parallel loads

Find the total reactive power (in kVAR) consumed by the parallel loads

Find the net power factor lag of the parallel loads

Compute for the reactive power (in kVAR) needed to be supplied by a capacitor to increase the power factor to 0.92 lag.
