QUESTION 3

The Y-connected. three-phase source to a small industrial unit is 480 V with a frequency of 50
Hz. The unit has three parallel machines lhat represenl three balanced three-phase loads.
The loads are:

Load 1: 10 kVA at 0.85 pf lagging, Y-connected

1•+
Load 2:
Load 3:
15 kVA at 0.95 pf leading, Y ;:ponnected
15 kVA at 0.9 pf lagging, 6 -connected --
a) Sketch and label the single-line diagram of this system.
b) Determine the phase voltage and current of load 1, load 2 and load 3.
c) Calculate the real. reactive and apparent power of the source.
d) Determine the total power factor and line current of the combined load.
