PuttingtheValuesintheaboveformula
=(10.188kVAR)/(2xx50x4002)
=2.0268x104
=202.7x106
=202.7F
Solution#2(SimpleCalculationMethod)
kVAR=10.188(i)
Weknowthat
IC=V/XC
WhereasXC=1/2FC
IC=V/(1/2FC)
IC=V2FC
=(400)x2x(50)xC
IC=125663.7xC
And,
kVAR=(VxIC)/1000[kVAR=(VxI)/1000]
=400x125663.7xC
IC=50265.48xC(ii)
EquatingEquation(i)&(ii),weget,
50265.48xC=10.188C
C=10.188/50265.48
C=2.0268x104
C=202.7x106
