Question
Find the value of parallel capacitance needed to correct a load of 120 kVAR at 0.75 lagging pf to unity
pf. Assume that the load is supplied by a 220-V (rms), 50-Hz line.
a. 1.56 mF
b. 0.47 mF
C. 5.32 mF
d. 7.89 mF

When connected to a 220V (ms), 50 Hz power line, a load absorbs 4kW at a lagging power factor of
0.65. Thus, the value of power reactance correction needed to raise the pf to 0.9 is
a. 3.410 KVAR
b. 2.7340 KVAR
4.6768 KVAR
d. 1.9372 KVAR
