I have a question related to power factor. I tried it and got lost on the way. If someone could help I would really appreciate it.
A feeder from a distribution transformer is 500 feet long. It consists of 3#4/0 AWG wires having a resistance of 0.052 ohms per 1000 feet and current capacity of 225 Amps. The 3 phase load is balanced and draws 120 KW at 440 Volts with 60% PF lagging. Determine the KVA Rating of capacitors capable of correcting the power factor enough to allow rated current to flow.
Thanks
Andy
