2. The three loads in circuit can be describe as follows: Load 1 is absorbing an average power of 7.5KW and 9KVAR (inductive), Load 2 is absorbing an average power of 2.1 kW and 1.8 KVAR (Capacitive), Load 3 consists of a 48 ohms resistor connected in series of reactance of 18.2 ohms. Assume that the voltage of $V_L = 480 \angle 0 V_{rms}$, 60Hz. Find: a. The value of $V_g$ b. The total complex power supplied by the source c. The value of capacitor that needs to be connected in parallel after the $V_g$. to raise the pf to unity.

Step 1
To raise the power factor to unity in parallel after the Vg, it needs to be connected to the source b. This means that the load needs to be connected in parallel with the source, and the load should have a power factor of 1 (or unity). Show more…
