voltage across the combination is 2 10045 . Find the total current, the complex power, and the
overall PF.

Text problem 2.9

A 230 V source supplies two loads in parallel. Load 1 draws 5 kVA at a lagging PF of 0.8 and load
2 draws 3 kW at a lagging PF of 0.9. Take source voltage as the reference phasor 2300 V. Find
the source current and the total complex power supplied by the source.

Text problem 2.10 (Partial answer: 100 Amps)

Three loads are connected in parallel as follows: Load 1 absorbs an average power of 8 kW at a
lagging PF of 0.8. Load 2 absorbs 20 kVA at a leading PF of 0.6. Load 3 is an impedance of
2.5 + j5.0 . The voltage across the parallel combination is 2500 V. The load is supplied
through a feeder having an impedance of 0.1 + j1.0 . Find the source voltage vs(t) and is(t)
assuming the frequency is 60 Hz.

Text problem 2.11

Three loads in parallel are as follows: Load 1, 250 kVA at 0.5 PF lag, load 2, 180 kW at 0.8 lead,
load 3, 283 + j100 kVA. Find the total complex power and the overall power factor of the
combination. What is the kVAR of the capacitor needed to make the overall PF 0.8 lead? The
capacitor is connected across the parallel combination.

Text problem 2.12


Two loads are connected in parallel across a source whose voltage is 100060 V. Load 1 is
100 kVA at 0.866 PF lagging and load 2 is 40 kW at 0.5 lagging. Find the total complex power, the
total current I supplied by the source, and the currents in each of the loads.

Special problem #1

A single-phase source is supplying passive loads through two wires (typically called a feeder). The
impedance of each wire is 0.05 + j0.05 . The load is connected between the two wires at the far
end. The load current (which is also the feeder current) is 75 Amps (RMS).

when the power factor of the load is unity? (Answer: 128 V)
b) Repeat for the case where the load power factor is 0.707 lagging (Answer: 131 V).
c) Repeat for the case where the load power factor is 0 leading (Answer: 113 V).
