Answer / habeebm

The KVAR required is:

KVAR=KW(tan@1-tan@2) (where @1=cos-1(p.f1)& @2=cos-1(p.f2)

Therefore,

KVAR=KW {tan[cos-1(p.f1)]-tan[cos-1(p.f2)]}

=KW {tan[cos-1(0.85)]-tan[cos-1(0.99)]}

=KW {tan[31.79]-tan[8.11]}

=KW {0.48}

=1500 {0.48}

=720

Therefore 720 KVAR is required to improve powerfactor from
0.85 to 0.99 for 1500KW load.

NOTE:-
Excuse me if the answer is wrong.

Answer / alimohmad khatri

KVAR=KVA*SIN(PHI)
KW=KVA*COS(PHI)

HENCE....KVAR/KW=TAN(PHI)

KVAR=KW*TAN(PHI)

NOW, FOR P.F.(1)=COS(PHI(1))=.85 THEN TAN(PHI(1))=.6197
FOR P.F.(2)=COS(PHI(2))=.99 THEN TAN(PHI(2))=.1425

KW=1500 KW IS COMMON FOR BOTH CASE 1 & 2

REQUIRED....
KVAR=KW*[TAN{PHI(1)}-TAN{PHI(2)}]

HENCE KVAR=1500*(0.6197-0.1425)=715.8

YOU NEED TO ARRANGE CAPACITOR BANK OF 715.8 KVAR.

Answer / waqi

first calculate the kva at .99 and 1500kw
(cosp=kw/kva),than put the value of kva in this formula kva=
(kw)2+(kvar)2)^1/2 to caculate kvar at .99 pwr factor

Dear Waqi

I am not understand your answer for the above mentioned question. Will you please solve and give us the answer for required KVAR to improve power factor from 0.85 to 0.99 for 1500KW load.

I am an American living in Vietnam and I have recently gotten a refrigerator from Japan and it is rated for 100 vac, but the power here is 220 so I bought a voltage stabilizer it has a 1 kva output rating. Can you please tell me what the amperage is? I'm confused and without a working fridge.
