B TASK (REVIEW OF AC CIRCUITS)

8. An impedance equal to 4.4 /60º is connected across a 220-volt source. What should be the
value
of a second impedance, in parallel with the first, if the total power delivered to the circuit is to
be 16.5 kW and the overall power factor is to be unity?
9. A load has an impedance value of (3.6 + j4.8) ohms. What value of the capacitive reactance,
connected in parallel with this impedance that will make this circuit power factor unity?
10. A 220-V line delivers 15 kVA to a load at 80 percent lagging. Find the PF of a 12-kVA
the synchronous motor in parallel to raise the PF to 100 percent.
11. A bank of motors draws 30 kW at 75 percent PF lagging from a 440-V, 60-Hz line. Find the
kilovolt-amperage and the capacitance of a capacitor placed across the motor terminals if it is
to raise the total PF to 1.0
12. A plant load draws 2000 kVA from a 240-V line at a PF of 0.70 lagging. Find the kVA
required
of a capacitor bank in parallel with the plant for the overall PF to be 0.90 leading.
13. A series RL branch in an AC circuit has R = 8 ohms and X L = 10 ohms. A capacitor is
connected
in parallel across the branch. What should be the reactance of the capacitor if the unit is to
have
PF of unity?
14. A motor draws 2 kW and 10 A from a 220-V, 60 Hz line. Find the volt amperage and the
capacitance of a capacitor in parallel that will raise the total PF to 1.
