A 2000 -kW turbine-generator of 0.85 power factor operates at the rated load. An additional load of $300 \mathrm{kW}$ at 0.8 power factor is added. What $\mathrm{kVAR}$ of capacitors is required to operate the turbine -generator but keep it from being overloaded?
A three-phase $440-\mathrm{V}, 51-\mathrm{kW}, 60-\mathrm{kVA}$ inductive load operates at $60 \mathrm{Hz}$ and is wye-connected. It is desired to correct the power factor to 0.95 lagging. What value of capacitor should be placed in parallel with each load impedance?
