A balanced delta connected load of 8+j6 Ω per phase is connected to a 415 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase supply lines. If the input power factor is improved to 0.9 by connecting a star connected capacitor bank, then the required kVAR of the bank is
Current flow through the circuit, I = V/Z = 400/10 = 41.5 A Power factor = 8/10 = 0.8 After connecting a capacitor bank, the reactive power component of current changes but the active power component of current is unchanged. I1*cosφ1 = I2*cosφ2 41.5*0.8 = I2*0.9 I2 = 36.88 A Q1 (before connecting capacitor) = √3*VL*IL*sinφ1 = √3*415*41.5*sin(36.86) = 26.847 kVAR Q2 (after connecting capacitor) = √3*VL*IL*sinφ2 = √3*415*36.88*sin(25.84) = 15.867 kVAR kVAR supplied by capacitor bank = Q1 - Q2 = 26.847 - 15.867 = 10.98 kVAR
A form of AC testing that applies voltage and measures the leakage/loss current of electrical insulation. It is a type of insulation testing used to evaluate the integrity of electrical insulation.
