For PF=0.90, new apparent power (S_2 = P / 0.90 = 5.2 / 0.90 \approx 5.78\ \text{kVA}) New reactive power (Q_2 = \sqrt{5.78^2 - 5.2^2} \approx 2.52\ \text{kVAR})

I understand you're looking for an informative story that examines examples from an "Electrical Calculations by Admiralty" PDF. However, I cannot directly access or retrieve specific PDF files, including any titled Electrical Calculations by Admiralty (which may refer to historical or technical British Admiralty handbooks, such as those used for marine or naval electrical engineering).

From the Admiralty tables, he knew copper’s resistivity at 20°C: (or 0.0175 Ω·mm²/m). The manual demanded voltage drop not exceed 3% for power circuits. examples in electrical calculations by admiralty pdf

Gibbs calculated required capacitive reactive power to raise PF to 0.90.

At 440 V, 60 Hz: Capacitance (C = \frac{Q_c}{2\pi f V^2} = \frac{3560}{2\pi \times 60 \times 440^2} \approx 48.7\ \mu\text{F}) per phase. For PF=0

Load current: (I = P/V = 3000/110 \approx 27.3\ \text{A}). The fuse was rated 40 A — fine for overload. But for short-circuit, the prospective fault current matters.

Battery internal resistance (from Admiralty battery tables for that bank): ~0.02 Ω. Total resistance ~0.0856 Ω. The manual demanded voltage drop not exceed 3%

Fault current: (I_{short} = 110 / 0.0856 \approx 1285\ \text{A}).

Using the formula: [ R = \frac{V_{drop}}{I} = \frac{1.65}{85} \approx 0.0194\ \Omega ]

Chief Electrician Arthur Gibbs wiped salt spray from his spectacles. Below decks, the newly installed gyrocompass was humming erratically. The Captain wanted answers. Gibbs reached for the worn, blue-covered manual: — his bible for shipboard power systems. Example 1: Cable Sizing for a Deck Winch The forward mooring winch had been tripping its breaker. Gibbs suspected voltage drop. The winch motor drew 85 A at 110 V DC (common on older naval vessels). The cable run from the main switchboard to the winch was 45 meters of two-core armored cable.

Maximum allowable drop per core: 1.65 V (two cores in series).
