MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 3)
A single phase motor connected to 400 V, 50 Hz supply takes 25 A at a power factor of 0.75 lagging. Calculate the capacitance required in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.95 lagging.
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
