16. An inductive AC load draws 13.4 amps of current at a voltage of 208 volts. The phase

 Reactive power (Q) =
 Power factor =

An electrician suggests to you that the lagging power factor may be corrected by connecting a
capacitor in parallel with this load. If the capacitor is sized just right, it will exactly offset the
reactive power of the inductive load, resulting in zero total reactive power and a power factor of
unity (1). Calculate the size of the necessary capacitor in Farads, assuming a line frequency of
60 Hz.

20. The French TGV high-speed train absorbs 11 MW at 300 km/h (186 mi/h). The power supply module
is shown in Figure Below. The module consists of two 25-kV single-phase power stations connected at
the same overhead line, one at each end of the module. For the return circuits, the rail is used. However,
the train is designed to operate at a low speed also with 1.5-kV DC in railway stations or under the old
electrification lines. The natural (average) power factor in the AC operation is 0.8 (not depending on the
voltage).

Assuming that the overhead line equivalent specific resistance is 0.2 Ω/km and that the rail resistance could
a) be neglected, find:
b) The equivalent circuit.
c) The locomotive’s current in the condition of a 10 percent voltage drop.
d) The reactive power.
e) The supplied real power, overhead line losses, and maximum distance between two power stations
supplied in the condition of a 10 percent voltage drop when the train is located at the half-distance
between the stations.
f) Overhead line losses in the condition of a 10 percent voltage drop when the train is located at the half-
distance between the stations, assuming pf = 1. (The French TGV is designed with a state-of-the-art
power compensation system.)
g) The maximum distance between the two power stations supplied in the condition of a 10 percent voltage
drop when the train is located at the half-distance between the stations, assuming the DC (1.5-kV)
operation at one-quarter power.
