Question

A three-phase synchronous generator, operating at 10kVA, 398 V_rms, 60Hz, is over-excited, resulting in a leading power factor of 0.9. Connected in parallel, is a three-phase induction generator, operating at 398V_rms and a current of 20A_rms, resulting in a lagging power factor of 0.75. Determine: The power triangle for each electric machine The real power generated by both electric machines combined The system load power factor The three-phase capacitance needed to correct the power factor to a value of 1.0, (if necessary)

Explanation / Answer

An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow
