It is to verify the power factor. The question I'm answering is 'the load taken from an ac supply is a heating load of 15kW, motor load of 40kVa at 0.6pf lagging, and a load of 20kW at 0.8pf lagging. Calculate the total load in kW and kVA and it's pf, what would be the value of a capacitor to bring it to unity? Simulate your answer' I'VE GOT ALL THE VALUES FOR THE QUESTIONS ABOVE. WHAT I DONT KNOW IS a) HOW TO SIMULATE IT ON MULTISIM b) APART FROM THE CAPACITOR, WHAT COMPONENTS ARE REQUIRED/VALUES? Thanks in advance.
