1. A single phase circuit has a load of 500kVa at a power factor of 0.707 lagging. Calculate the kVA of the capacitors needed to improve the power factor to unity

3. When connected to a 120-v(rms), 60Hz power line, a load absorbes 4 kw at a lagging power factor of 0.8. Find the capacitance necessary to raise the pf to 0.9

4. A three phase motor draws 20kva at 0.707 power factor lagging from a 208V source. Determine the kVa rating of the capacitors to make the combined power factor 0.9 lagging and determine the line current before and after the capacitors are added.

A 3 phase, 3.3 kV industrial plant has an overall power factor of 0.88 lagging. A 200 kVA synchronous motor is added to the system and is run at zero power factor and slightly reduced rating to provide power factor correction only. The total load is then 350 kVA at unity power factor. It was then decided to run the synchronous machine at its rated kVA and use it as a source of mechanical power, what gross mechanical power would...
