dear friends,

we are use 130 hp load run with 0.98 power factor ( 38KVAR
capacitor connected ). if we need improve the the power
factor to 1 (unity). how much kvar capacitor to be add. have
any formula? please share with me.

Answer Posted / bmk mughal

KW=96.98
COS-1.98=11.470
TAN11.470=KVAR1/KW
KVAR1=19.69
COS-11=00
TANO0=KVAR2/KW
KVAR2=0
Required  KVAR=KVAR1-KVAR2
              =19.69KVAR

Is This Answer Correct ?    1 Yes 0 No

- two pumps must work with them at the same time but if the first pump start the second pump  must delayed for some time to start  also , with motor rated power = 90 KW and rated voltage = 380 V and rated power factor = 0.85 lag please draw the power and control circuit for it and determine all circuit components parameters that you use it
