Question

The load at a certain factory consists of the following:
10 kW, pf = 0.6 lagging
15 kW, rf = 0.5 lagging
25 kVA, pf = 0.75 lagging
15 kVAR, pf = 0.8 lagging
22 kW
5 kVAR, pure inductance

Total True Power = 85.75 kW
Total Reactive Power = 58.5295 kVAr
Total Apparent Power = 103.8208 KVA

1. The power factor is to be corrected to 0.95 lagging. If resistive heating units were used instead, determine the real power rating of these devices. Ans = 92.3222
2. The power factor is to be corrected to 0.95 lagging. If a synchronous motor is to be used instead, determine the real power rating of this motor if its power factor is 0.6 leading. Ans = 18.257
