company installed a new processing machine and since then has been demanded to pay penalty charges by TNB for operating at low power factor. The company is connected to a three phase supply to its resistive and inductive loads. On normal operation day, the measurements recorded is as shown in Figure 3. The ammeter and voltmeter readings in rms value.
i) Determine the value of power factor and type. ii) Draw the power triangle with the corresponding amount of power quantities. iii) Suggest a targeted power factor value to avoid the penalty charges and determine the size of capacitor bank (in kVAr) needed. Wattmeter 10 kW Electrical Entrance Facility Ammeter 19.87 A Volt- meter 415 V Inductive load Figure 3 Capacitor bank Resistive load [13 Marks]
