understand the placement of KVA KVAR and KW on the power triangle.
A 100-horsepower, 3-phase, 2,400-volt motor operates at 75% power factor. Calculate the phase angles
at 75% PF and 93% PF, and the capacitive VARs (CVARs) needed to correct the power factor to 93%.
Angle θ@75% = 41.4
Angle θ@93% = 21.6
CVAR@93% = 36.307
A 100 HP, 3φ, 2400 volt motor operates at 75% power factor. Calculate the phase angles at 75% PF, 100%
PF and the capacitive VARs (CVARs) needed to correct the power factor to 100%.
Angle θ@75% = 41.41
Angle θ@100% = 0
CVAR@100% = 65.79
