1. An electrical installation is to be power-factor corrected. One large motor has a maximum rating of 125 kW at 0.78 power factor lagging. Calculate the kVAr rating of a capacitor to correct the motor power factor to 0.99 lagging. 2. The electrical supply company rules which decide how much we pay for our electrical energy is called the

 

(a) account (b) tariff (c) charge (d) bill
