ONLINE ACTIVITY #6 IN EECKT230

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Copy and answer the following items indicated with complete solutions. Final answers must be
rounded up to three decimal places and must be enclosed in a rectangle. Do not attach this questionnaire.

1. A balanced wye – connected load absorbs a total power of 5 kW at a leading power factor of 0.6 when connected to
a line voltage of 240 V. find the impedance of each phase and total complex power of the load.
2. A balanced delta – connected load is supplied by a 60 Hz three phase source with a line voltage of 240 V. Each load
phase draws 6 kW at a lagging power factor of 0.8. Find:
a. The load impedance per phase
b. The line current
c. The value of capacitor needed to be connected in parallel with each load to minimize the current from the source
3. The following three parallel – connected three –phase loads are fed by a balanced three – phase source.
Load 1: 250 kVA, 0.8 pf lagging
Load 2: 300 kVA, 0.95 pf leading
Load 3: 450 kVA, unity pf
If the line voltage is 13.8 kV, calculate the line current and the power factor of the source. Assume that the line
impedance is zero.
4. Determine the total power dissipated by three 20 Ω resistors when connected (a) in star and (b) in delta to a 440V, 3
– phase supply.
5. Three inductive loads, each of resistance 4 Ω and reactance 9 Ω are connected in delta. When connected to a 3 –
phase supply the loads consume 1.2kW. Calculate (a) the power factor of the load, (b) the phase current, (c) the line
current and (d) the supply voltage.
6. The input voltage, current and power to a motor is measured as 415 V, 16.4 A and 6k W respectively. Determine the
power factor of the system.
