A 60-Hz, 200-hp, 240-V (rms) motor draws 160 (mathrm{kW}) of power with a 0.72 lagging power factor.

Question:

A 60-Hz, 200-hp, 240-V (rms) motor draws 160 \(\mathrm{kW}\) of power with a 0.72 lagging power factor. Compute the complex power drawn by the motor. Then select an appropriate capacitor to improve the power factor to 0.98 and then recalculate the new complex power drawn.
