From the image answer the following:1. Calculate the (lagging) power factor of the total load of the plant in the image2. A capacitor bank will be installed in parallel to the loads to improve the power factor of the total load. How much Reactive Power in kiloVAR will the capacitor bank have to supply to improve the power factor to 98%, lagging?
