At a 33kV 50 Hz to a bus a load of 35 MW is connected. To improve the power factor to unity a synchronous phase modifier is connected taking 5 MW. If the SPM is represented as delta connected impedance, where in each phase we have capacitor connected parallel to resistance forming RC parallel network, then the value of this resistance is ___________

Correct Answer: 653.4 Ω
Reactive power fed by SPM = 35tan36.87 = 26.25 MVAR Active power consumed by prime mover = 5 MW 5*106 = 3V2/R R=3(33×1000)2/(5*106) = 653.4 Ω.
