Given : PAO = 30,000 kVA OC
θm PRm
Given : PT = 390.8 kW
ΘO = 0.8 = 36.87 o
ΘN = 0.97 = 14.07 o ΘO = 0.8 = 36.87 o
ΘN = 0.9 = 25.84 o Given : PTO = 1,440 kW
PRC = y - x
PRC = 390.8 tan 36.87 o - 390.8 tan 25.84 o
Solving for : y and x ΘO = 0.6 = 53.13 o
PRC = 103.844 kVAR ΘN = 0.9 = 25.84 o
PT = 30,000 ( 0.8 ) = 24,000 kW ΘM = 0.8 = 36.87 o
Solving for per phase value :
Let :
2
PRC = 103.844 / 3 = 139.8247 kVAR = v / xC
then;

PRC = 24,000 tan 36.87 o - 24,000 tan 14.06986 o solving for the total capacitance per phase

PRC = 11,985.1 kVAR ( total value )

Getting the per phase value

CT = 1.897077115 x 10 -5 F or 18.97 uF
PRC = 11,985.1 / 3 = 3,995.03 kVAR answer Solving for PAO :
Hence: C1 = CT / 4 = 4.74 uF answer

hence, we can now solve the PTM

PTM = 1,238.2 ( 0.8 )

PTM = 990.54 kW ( real power by the motor )

to convert it to horsepower divide PTM by 756 watts / hp
