what is the effect of power factor in electrical circuit ?
if we mainten power factor near about unity (0.999) our
energy consumption Units increase or decrease?

Answer Posted / rahul verma

Electrical energy is exclusively
generated,transmitted,distributed in the form of
alternating current.therefore the question of power factor
immediately comes in to picture.since most of the loads are
inductive in nature hence have low lagging pf.low pf is
highly undesirable as it causes increase in current,and
additional losses of active power in all the elements from
power station generation till the utilization devices.
if we maintain pf as close to unityour consumption unit
decrease

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
