MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A single phase motor connected to 415 V, 50 Hz supply takes 30 A at a power factor of 0.7 lagging. Calculate the capacitance required in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.9 lagging.
Frequency of natural oscillation is given by, fn = {((dPe/dδ)at(δo))/M)} dPe/dδ = ((V1*V2)/X*(cosδ)) = (11/05)*cosδ = (11/0.5)*0.5 M = (H*s)/(πf) = 4/(50π)
