QUESTION 1

a) Describe the power delivery process from power plant to the consumer using single line
diagram.
(3 marks)

b) A three-phase, Y-connected, 415 V, 50 Hz generator supplies a fixed three-phase

balanced load connected in parallel as follows:

Load 1: A Y-connected 40 kVAR motor at 0.7 lagging power factor.

Load 2: A -connected 20 hp induction motor at 0.75 lagging power factor.
Load 3: A -connected 20 kW purely resistive load

i) Sketch the single-line diagram of this system.

ii) Calculate the total real, reactive and apparent power taken from the supply source by
all the loads.
iii) Calculate the line current for load 1, load 2, load 3 and the total line current of the
supply source.
iv) Determine the overall power factor of the system.

(12 marks)

QUESTION 2
a) Draw and label the equivalent circuit of a practical transformer.
(3 marks)

b) A transformer has the following details: 20kVA, 8000/240V, 50Hz. The open circuit test
performed on the primary side of the transformer and short circuit test were performed
on the secondary side of the transformer, and the following data were taken.

Table Q2b

Open circuit test Short circuit test

VOC = 8000V VSC = 415 V
IOC = 0.2A ISC = 2.2 A
POC = 400 W PSC = 210 W

i) Based on the results, determine the impedance of the transformer referred to

secondary side and sketch the approximated equivalent circuit.
ii) The full load copper losses.
iii) Find 75% full load efficiency with 0.95 pf lagging.
