A factory fed from a 230/400V 50Hz supply has an apparent power of 460 KVA at a power factor of 0.87. Calculate the KVAR rating of a capacitor bank to improve the power factor to 0.97. Question 2: A motor with a 73.8 KW output at an efficiency of 90% and a power factor of 0.9. Calculate the KVAR rating of a capacitor bank required to bring the power factor to 0.96.

A three phase induction motor delivers 100 hp while operating at an efficiency of 80% and a power factor of 0.75 lagging from 480-V lines. The power factor is to be improved to 0.90 lagging by inserting a delta bank of power-factor correction capacitors. Determine the required capacitance per phase. ans 142.2 micro Farad
