Q. A 6.6-kV line feeds two loads connected in parallel. Load A draws 100 kW at 0.6 lagging power factor, and load B absorbs 100 kVA at 0.8 lagging power factor.
(a) For the combined load, calculate the real power, reactive power, volt-amperes, and line current drawn from the supply.
(b) If the power factor on the supply end is to be unity, determine the value of the capacitance to be placed across the load if the frequency of excitation is 60 Hz.
