Problem 5
A three-phase load draws 250 kW at a power factor of 0.707 lagging from a 440-
V line. In parallel with this load is a three-phase capacitor bank which draws 60
kVA. Find the total current and resultant power factor.

A three-phase motor draws 20 kVA at 0.707 power factor lagging from a 220-V
source. Determine the kilovolt ampere rating of capacitors to make the
combined power factor 0.90 lagging, and determine the line current before and
after the capacitor are added. 14.14
Solution;

a) Find the total kW, kvar, kVA, and the supply power factor.
Figure 1
An inductive load has a lagging power factor, the capacitive load has a leading
power factor, and the resistive load has a unity power factor.
For load 1:
θ1=cos-1(0.28)=73.74° lagging
S=P+jQ=S1+S2+S3
=35+j120+10-j40+15+j0
I= S*V* =100,000∠-53.13°1400∠0°=71.43∠-53.13°A
PF=cos53.13=0.6 lagging
Total real power P = 60 kW at the new power factor of 0.8 lagging results in the
new reactive power Q’.

Problem 8
A three-phase line has an impedance of 0.4+j2.7Ω per phase. The line feeds two
balanced three-phase loads that are connected parallel. The first load is
absorbing 560.1kVA at 0.707 power factor lagging. The second load absorbs
132kW at unity power factor. The line-to-line voltage at the load end of the line
is 3810.5V.
Determine:
a) The magnitude of the line voltage at the source end of the line.
b) Total real and reactive power loss in the line.
c) Real power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line.

The magnitude of the line voltage at the sending end of the line is
It is clear that the sum of load powers and the line losses is equal to the
power delivered from the supply, i.e,
