    Don't quote me on this being the right answer, but that's how I see it.
    That is how I see it also. This question was also on my level II test.

    This is how I visualize it.

    sqrt(37,500) = 193.64
    I agree with most of this. Until you came up with B2.

    sqrt(750,000sq - 712,500sq) = 234.42 = B2

    Thoughts? I know this is an old post, but, for those of us studying, it's still relevant.

    I don't think A^2+B^=C^2 method is the right way to go about the problem. Kw loading will stay the same, but changing the kvar will cause the kva to change.

    Page 4 of (https://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/pub...a02607001e.pdf) has a good visual of the change.

    The OP's method seems the quickest to answer the problem:
    1. Solve for kw. (pf x KVAinitial =kw) --- 0.75 x 750000 = 562500 Kw
    2. Find the angle for .95 pf. (cos-1 [Pfdesired]= angle) --- cos-1 (0.95) = 18.19 degrees
    3. Solve for Kvar. (tan[angle] x kw = kvar) --- tan(18.19) x 562500 = 184831 Kvar


    For fun you can then use A^2+B^=C^2 to solve for the new Kvar = 592088 Kvar

    You're absolutely right. Between the time I read the OP and then read the follow up comment, I spaced on the VA changing! Yoinks! Hopefully, I don't pull any dumb stunts like that next week when I take my test.
