Question

Each motor is rated at 80 hp but is only loaded mechanically as follows: 
Motor # % Loading 
1               40 
2               50 
3               70 

The relationship between % of full load for each motor and efficiency (they are all 
the same) is given by the graph below: 

a) What is the minimum required transformer rating in kVA? 
b) By what percentage could the required transformer rating be reduced if a 
capacitor bank were installed in parallel with the motors, improving the power 
factor of the loadcentre to unity?
