MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A three-phase, 12 kV, 50 Hz and 300 kW load is operating at 0.8 pf lag. If the pf is to be improved to unity, using star connected capacitor, the per phase value of the reactive VAR required is:
Where, d is distance in m Q is value of variable resistor in ohm P is variable resistance in ohm Here Q/P = 1/3 is given, d = Q/(P + Q)*Loop length = 1/4*(2*600) = 300 m
