Question B As part of the same site but in a different network, the client would like to use an existing nearly fully loaded transformer to deliver 600kVA to another industrial load with a power factor of 0.8, this time using a connection to the main grid. The client is anticipating a growth in active power demand of 25% for this load in the near future. One of your colleagues has suggested the use of capacitors to accommodate this growth without violating the transfomer's capacity limit. 3) Your line manager has asked you to calculate the total reactive power that these capacitors would need to provide so the client won't have to purchase a larger transformer. [20 Marks] 4) What other measure could be taken to avoid the transformer from overloading? Justify your answer and highlight benefits and potential drawbacks of the solution proposed.
