A 230 V, single-phase supply feeds the following loads: (a) incandescent lamps taking a current
of 6 A at unity power factor; (b) fluorescent lamps taking a current of 5 A at 0.75 leading power
factor; (c) a motor taking a current of 7 A at 0.7 lagging power factor. You are required to
correct the power factor to unity.
a) Show how it can be achieved by connecting a parallel reactance to the load
- provide the phasor diagram based on computed branch currents; and the power
triangles before and after power factor correction.
- provide the appropriate kVar rating of reactance, and if it’s a capacitor bank compute
the capacitance or if it’s an reactor (inductor) compute the inductance.
b) If it is proposed to use series reactance to perform power factor correction, show how this
can be achieved and comment on this approach.
d) Verify your answers using Matlab/Simulink
- show the rms currents on the Simulink model
- Plot the instantaneous branch currents and show clearly how the phase angle between
the supply voltage and supply current changes, accordingly

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Modern high speed trains do not have perpendicular expansion gaps where rails are joined end-to-end any more they are mostly welded together but what might happen if there was a spell of particularly hot weather that causes inspection of the tracks?
