Three-phase AC circuits
1. Three similar coils each having a resistance of 5Ω and an inductance of 0.02H are
connected (a) in star, (b) in delta to a 415V (line-line voltage), 3-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Calculate the line current and total real power absorbed in each case.
2. Two three-phase wye-connected loads are in parallel across a three-phase supply. The first
load draws a phase current of 20A at 0.9 power factor leading, and the second load draws
a phase current of 30A at 0.8 power factor lagging. Calculate the following:
(a) Line current from the source side and its power factor
(b) Real power supplied by the wye-connected supply if the supply phase voltage is
400V.
4. A three-phase induction motor draws 20 kVA at 0.8 power factor lagging from a 415V
(line-line voltage) three-phase supply.
Determine
a) the real power drawn from the supply
b) the reactive power drawn from the supply
c) the line current

4. A transformer is rated at 10kVA with ratio 500/125V 50Hz. It is loaded with a 10Ω
impedance with a power factor of 0.75 lagging. The supply voltage to the primary of
the transformer is 480V. What is the kVA delivered to the load, load voltage, load
current, primary current, power delivered to the load and the primary power factor.
