ABSTRACT

Find what size capacitor connected across the motor terminals would

cause the intake in kVA to be equal to the power in kW. (CGLI)

4. A group of single-phase motors takes 50 A at 0.4 power factor lagging from

a 230 V supply. Calculate the apparent power and the true power input to

the motors. Determine also the leading kVAr to be taken by a capacitor in

order to improve the power factor to 0.8 lagging.
