(b) A balanced 3-phase Delta connected load, connected to a 415 V, 50 Hz

supply draws a line current of 40 Amp at 0.8 p.f lag. Calculate :
(i) Parameters of Delta connected load
(ii) Total power (Kw)
(iii) Reactive power (KVAR)
(iv) Apparent power (KVA)

4. (a) 2 wattmeters are connected to measure the input to a 400V, 3, 50Hz, star
connected motor. The motor output is 24.4 kW. The motor has an
efficiency of 80% and input power factor is 0.4(lag). Calculate the
resistance and reactance of motor per phase also calculate readings of the
wattmeters.
(b) Draw circuit diagram of a transistor connected in CE configuration. Also
draw it's output characteristics and input characteristics.
(c) Explain the importance of O.C. and S.C. tests. Why are Power transformers
not tested at full load? Explain how these tests are conducted, also explain
why is S.C. test preferably conducted on H.V. side and O.C. test on L.V. Side.
