Discuss the importance of power-factor correction in
a.c. systems.
A 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase distribution system
supplies a 20 kVA, three-phase induction motor load
at a power factor of 0.8 lagging, and a star-connected
set of impedances, each having a resistance of 10 Ω
and an inductive reactance of 8 Ω. Calculate the
capacitance of delta-connected capacitors required to
improve the overall power factor to 0.95 lagging.

- With the aid of a phasor diagram show that the active power and power factor of a balanced three-phase load can be measured by two wattmeters. For a certain load, one wattmeter indicated 20 kW and the other 5 kW after the voltage circuit of this wattmeter had been reversed. Calculate the active power and the power factor of the load. ANS: 15 kW, 0.327arrow_forwardState the advantages to be gained by raising the power factor of industrial loads. A 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase motor takes a line current of 15.0 A when operating at a lagging power factor of 0.65. When a capacitor bank is connected across the motor terminals, the line current is reduced to 11.5 A.
