Q1: CALCULATION FOR REACTIVE POWER TO CORRECT POWER FACTOR

TO 0.95

[
Reactive Power(Q)=P × tan ( cos ( PF 1 ) )−tan ( cos ( PF 2 ) )
−1 −1
]
P : Active Power (Watt)

PF 1: Initial Power Factor = 0.87

PF 2: Target Power Factor = 0.95

To calculate the angle of initial power factor:

−1 −1 °
cos ( PF 1 )=cos ( 0.87 )=29.54

Page | 4
To calculate the angle of target power factor:

cos−1 ( PF 2 )=cos−1 ( 0.95 )=18.19°

To calculate the Reactive Power:

Reactive Power ( Q )=37 × [ tan ( 29.54 ) −tan ( 18.19 ) ]=37 × ( 0.56669475−0.32858988 ) =37 ×0.23810487=8.81
kVAR

∴ The reactive power to correct power factor to 0.95 is 8.81 kVAR

Q2: CALCULATE FOR THE CAPACITANCE VALUE TO MAKE P.F UP TO 0.98

Q2
C= 2
2 πF V

C : Capacitance ( μF)

Q2: Target Reactive Power (kVAR)

F : Frequency (Hz)

V : Line Voltage (V)

While:

[
Q2=P × tan ( cos−1 ( PF 1 ) )−tan ( cos−1 ( PF 2 ) ) ]
P : Active Power (Watt)

PF 1: Initial Power Factor = 0.87

PF 2: Target Power Factor = 0.98

To calculate the angle of initial power factor:

cos−1 ( PF 1 )=cos−1 ( 0.87 )=29.54 °

To calculate the angle of target power factor:

Page | 5
 −1 −1 °
cos ( PF 2 )=cos ( 0.98 )=11.48

To calculate the Reactive Power:

[ ]
Q 2=P × tan ( cos ( PF 1 ) ) −tan ( cos ( PF 2 ) ) =37 × [ tan ( 29.54 )−tan ( 11.48 ) ] =37 × ( 0.56669475−0.20308881055 )=

kVAR

To calculate the capacitance:

Q2 13.45× 1000
C= 2
= =0.00026758 F
2 πF V 2 π ×50 4002

C=267.58 μF

∴ The capacitance required to improve the power factor to 0.98 is 267.58 μF

Q3: MEASURE FOR FEED CABLES LENGTH AND RESISTANCE FROM THE
VOLTAGE DROP

∆ V =I × R

ρ×L
R=
A

∆ V : Voltage drop (V)

I : Load Current (A)

R : Cable Resistance (Ω )

ρ : Copper Resistivity = 1.724 ×10−8 Ω . m

L: Cable Length (m)

A : Cable Cross-sectional area (m2)

From the motor datasheet, L = 250 m and A = 70 mm2

To calculate the cable resistance:

ρ × L 1.72× 10−8 ×250

R= = =0.0 614 Ω
A 0.00 007
Page | 6
To calculate the voltage drop across the cable:

∆ V =I × R=65.6 ×0.0614=¿ 4.03 V

∴ The cable resistance is 0.0 614 Ω and the voltage drop across the cable is 4.03 V

Q4: CALCULATE FOR POWER SAVING DUE TO REDUCE IN CURRENT. (I 2 R)

Power Saving=3 × ( I −I 0.98 ) × R

2 2

I : Initial Current (A) = 65.6 A

I 0.98: Final Current (A)

R : Cable Resistance (Ω )

To calculate the final current:

P 37000
I 0.98= = =54.49 A
√3 × V × PF 0.98 √3 × 400 ×0.98
To calculate the power saving:

Power Saving=3 × ( 65.6 −54.49 ) × R=3 ×1334.2 × 0.0614=245.76 W

2 2

∴ The power saving due to current reduction is 245.76 W

Q5: CALCULATE ENERGY SAVING FOR ONE YEAR, CONSIDERING WORKING

HR 8000 ANNUALLY

Energy Saving ( kWh)=Power Saving (kW ) × Annual Operating Hours

To calculate the energy saving:

Energy Saving=0.24576 × 8000=1966.08 kWHr

Page | 7
∴ The energy saving for 1 year is 1966.08 kWHr

Q6: CALCULATE THE NEW VOLTAGE DROP

To calculate the voltage drop:

Voltage Drop=I 0.98 × R=54.49 ×0.0614=3.33 V

∴ The new voltage drop after power factor correction is 3.33 V

Q7: VOLTAGE REGULATION ( V main- V load / V load )*100

V Main−V Load
Voltage Regulation= × 100
V Load

V Main: Source Voltage (V)

V Load: Load Voltage (V) = 400 V

To calculate the voltage regulation:

V Main−V Load 3.33

Voltage Regulation= × 100= × 100=0. 83 %
V Load 400

∴ The voltage regulation i.e., the voltage drop percentage from the source to the load is
0.83 %
