1
Q
why shouldn’t you correct power factor past 90%
A
it is not economical
2
Q
what are the 2 common types of power factor correction
A
a capacitor bank, synchronous motor
3
Q
capacitors are used to correct a power factor because they
A
can store an supply reactive power
4
Q
3 reasons why we use power factor correction
A
less line current, supply conductors can be reduced, system can handle larger power loads
5
Q
what is the capacitor bank rated in
A
kilovars or Kvars
6
Q
when correcting the power factor of a plant the new power factor should be
A
at least 0.85 lagging
7
Q
a capacitor is connected in parallel with a motor. if the capacitor is disconnected the current of the motor will
A
stay the same
