Question
Two loads are connected in parallel to a 1000 v(rms) 60Hz source. One of
the loads has an average power of 500 kW and a forward power factor of
0.9. Since the other load absorbs 400kw and 600kvar power
a) Draw the equivalent circuit of the system
b) Find the common power factor of the system
c) Find the value of the capacitor to be connected parallel to the loads so
that the power factor is 0.95 back
d) Find and compare the magnitude of the current drawn from the
.source for the situations before and after the capacitor is connected
