You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. A 30-hp three-phase induction motor has a current draw of 36 amperes at full load. The motor is connected to a 480-volt line. A three-phase wattmeter indicates a true power of 22 kW. Determine the power factor of the motor and the amount of capacitance needed to correct the power factor to 95%. Also determine the minimum voltage rating of the capacitors. The capacitors are to be connected in wye.
Determine the value of the capacitor to raise the power factor to unity when two induction motor must be connected to a capacitor . The first motor is twenty-four kilo watts and power factor 0.8, while the other is forty kilo watts and power factor 0.95.
