QUESTION

In Figure 1, two impedances having a values of Z1= (1.6 +j4.8) Ω and Z2= (12 - j24) Ω and a
single phase motor are connected in parallel across a supply voltage at 240 Vrms, 60 Hz. The
motor draws 6kVA at 0.6 power factor lagging. Determine:
i. the supply current and apparent power for the two impedances respectively.
ii. the total power taken from the supply and the overall power factor.
iii. the value for parallel capacitance that used to improve the overall power factor to
0.95. What is the value of the supply current after the power factor correction?
