MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A single phase motor connected to 415 V, 50 Hz supply takes 30 A at a power factor of 0.7 lagging. Calculate the capacitance required in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.9 lagging.
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + IXsinφ)/V_r For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - IXsinφ)/V_r Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
