Answer / srinivasa rao talasila
There is a formula to calculate capacity of capacitor
required for a certain inductive load in KW
KVAR=KW*(Tan of running PF angle-Tan of desired PF angle)
Per suppose my plant is running 0.84 i need to take it to
0.98 at a load of 800KW
KVAR=800*(Tan 32.86-Tan 11.48)
KVAR=800*(0.6459-0.2030)
KVAR=800*0.4429
=354.32 say 355KVAR

how to calculate knee point voltage for pt?
Explain in details how you would react to an unexpected incident when your supervisor or manager is not around to give instructions?
why 120 devided with pole and speed multiplication to determine frequency
they conducted technica for 1 hour..i also managed..they selected 5 boys and only one girl,myself got wait listed.whether they would call or not
what is inverter
what is a circuit breaker. Weite the types of circuit breaker.
in transformer input is d.c signal which type of emf is induced
In power generator sets, when they are coverted from 50hz to 60hz, the kva rating after conversion increases. For example, the manufacturer of a perkins 200kva @ 50Hz generator set has mentioned it to become 220kva after converstion to 60hz. What is the relation between the frequency & the KVA rating. Any formula please.
which fault current is maximum: 3 phase short circuit, LG, LL or LLG?? why?? in one of the problems that i have solved, 3 phase short circuit current on an unloaded generator came out to be less than the LG fault current. can anybody please explain why.
why do we use LPF wattmeter not UPF in the experiment of no load and blocked rotor test of 3phase slipring induction motor?
