Ques. Note: Assume ‘X’ is the last two digits of your student ID. Marks
1. Analyze the capacitor action and hence determine the kVA rating of a [5]
capacitor which will raise the power factor of (X + 100) kW load from p.f. 0.7
to 0.9 lagging.

2. A 3-phase, 50 Hz, (X + 2) kV motor develops 600 h.p. with power factor 0.8 [10]
lagging and the efficiency 0.9. A bank of capacitors is connected in delta
across the supply terminals and power factor raised to 0.95 lagging. Each of
the capacitance units is built of five similar 440 V capacitors. Analyze the
action of capacitor bank and determine the capacitance of each capacitor.
