I am taking electrical classes. I need help with this problem.
A balanced 3 phase, 60 Hz load consists of machinery of 500 kva at 0.5 PF lagging, and a 3 phase resistive load 300 Kw. The two loads are supplied by a 4160 volts feeder.
a. What is the magnitude of the feeder current?
b. Specify the number and ratings of capacitors required if it is desired to improve the feeder power factor to 0.8. Assume caps will be connected in Y.
Thanks, Steve
