A factory takes a load of 2,400 kva at 0.6 lagging power factor. A synchronous motor having an input rating of 1,500 kva is to be installed to carry an additional load of 1,200 kW (output) and also to improve the power factor. Aamuming motor efficiency of 92.4 percent, calculate the synchronous motor power factor.
