The load in milling factory is having active and reactive power of 100 kW and 59.33 kVAr, respectively at voltage supply of 415 V. A capacitor bank system (PFC) with voltage rating 515 V is to be installed with the target to increase the power factor to 95%. The PFC has the step arrangement of 1:1:2:2:3 :3 with 5 kVAr for each capacitor unit. (1) Analyse the average power factor and the minimum effective reactive power, O, injected into supply system. (ii) Examine the effective reactive power, Qceff to be supplied by capacitor bank and the total unit steps of power factor corrector to be switched 'ON'. (iii) Estimate the actual average power factor for the system based on the unit step recommended in Q(e)(ii). (iv) Justify the implication of total unit steps of power factor corrector if 3.3kVAr per unit of capacitor is to be used in the factory.
