Question No.2

The magnitude of the phase voltage of an ideal balanced three-phase Y-connected source is 125 V. The
source is connected to a balanced Y-connected load by a distribution line that has an impedance of 0.1

Use the a-phase as reference and figure out the three line currents, the three phase voltages at the load
and the three line voltages at the load.

Question No.6

A factory has an electrical load of 1600 kW at a lagging power factor of 0.8. An additional variable
power factor load is to be added to the factory. The new load will add 320kW to the real power load of
the factory. The power factor of the added load is to be adjusted so that the overall power factor of the
factory is 0.96 lagging.
a. Specify the reactive power associated with the added load.
b. Does the added load absorbs or delivers magnetizing vars?
c. What is the power factor of the additional load?
d. Assume that the voltage at the input to the factory is 2400 V(rms). What is the rms magnitude
of the current into the factory before the variable power factor load is added?

been added.
