In an electrical engineering system, a fault is an abnormal electric current flowing through the system, and fault analysis is the study of these faults. For instance, a short-circuit is a fault where the live wire touches the ground or neutral wire. If…

Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 2.30P

Figure 2.26 shows three loads connected in parallel across a 1 000 -V ( RMS ) , 6 0 − Hz single-phase source.

Load 1: Inductive load, 125 kVA , 0. 28PF lagging.

Load 2: Capacitive load, 1 0 kW , 4 0 kvar .

Load 3: Resistive load, 15 kW .

(a) Determine the total kW, kvar, kva, and supply power factor.

(b) In order to improve the power factor to 0.8 lagging. a capacitor of negligible resistance is connected in parallel with the above loads. Find the kvar rating of that capacitor and the capacitance in μ F .

Comment on the magnitude of the supply current after adding the capacitor.

Chapter 2, Problem 2.30P, Figure 2.26 shows three loads connected in parallel across a 1000-V(RMS),60Hz single-phase source.
