Exercise 3
An inductive load takes a current of 60 A at a power factor of 0.643 lagging when connected to a 240 V, 50 Hz supply. It is required to improve the power factor to 0.80 lagging by connecting a capacitor in parallel with the load. Calculate (a) the new supply current, (b) the capacitor current, and (c) the value of the power factor correction capacitor. Draw the circuit phasor diagram.
