Q4: A) A 3-phase, 50 Hz, 400 V motor develops 100 H.P. (74-6 kW), the power factor being 0.75 lagging and efficiency 93%. A bank of capacitors is connected in delta across the supply terminals and power factor raised to 0-95 lagging. Each of the capacitance units is built of 4 similar 100 V series capacitors. Determine the capacitance of each capacitor. B) Give a reasonable justification to (two) of the following: 1- The receiving end voltage increased at lightly load. 2- The voltage drop consideration is relatively unimportant in design of feeder 3- In most industrial factories, the power factor is lagging.
