Three-phase circuits

PROBLEM 1

A three-phase load draws 250 kW at a power factor of 0.707 lagging from a 440-V line. In parallel with this
load is a three-phase capacitor bank which draws 60 kVA. Find the total current and resultant power
factor.

PROBLEM 2

A balanced-Δ load consisting of pure resistances of 15 Ω per phase is in parallel with a balanced-Y load
having phase impedances of 8+j6 Ω. Identical impedances of 2+j5 Ω are in each of the three lines
connecting the combined loads to a 110-V three-phase supply. Find the current drawn from the supply
and line voltage at the combined loads.

PROBLEM 3

Two balanced three-phase loads that are connected in parallel are fed by a three-phase line having a series
impedance of 0.4+j2.7 Ω per phase. One of the loads absorbs 560 kVA at 0.707 power factor lagging, and
the other 132 kW at unity power factor. The line-to-line voltage at the load end of the line is 2200√3 V.
Compute:

a) The line-to-line voltage at the source end of the line.

b) The total real and reactive power losses in the three-phase line.

c) The total three-phase real and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line.

Check that the total three-phase complex power delivered by the source equals the total three-phase
complex power absorbed by the line and loads.

PROBLEM 4

A three-phase line has an impedance of 0.6+j3.0 Ω/phase. The line feeds three balanced three-phase loads
that are connected in parallel. The first load is absorbing a total of 156 kW and 117 kVar. The second load
is ∆-connected and has an impedance of 144-j42 Ω/phase. The third load is 115 kVA at 0.6 p.f. leading.
The line to neutral voltage at the load end of the line is 2400 V. What is the magnitude of the line voltage
at the source end of the line?

PROBLEM 6

A three-phase line has an impedance of 2+j4 Ω. The line feeds two balanced three-phase loads that are
connected in parallel. The first load is Y-connected and has an impedance of 30+j40 Ω per phase. The
second load is ∆-connected and has an impedance of 60-j45 Ω. The line is energized at the sending end
from a three-phase balanced supply of line voltage 207.85 V. Taking the phase voltage 𝑉𝑎 as reference,
determine:

a) The current, real power, and reactive power drawn from the supply.

b) The line voltage at the combined loads.

c) The current per phase in each load.

d) The total real and reactive powers in each load and the line.

PROBLEM 7

A three-phase motor draws 20 kVA at 0.707 power-factor lagging from a 220-V source. Determine the
kilovolt-ampere rating of capacitors to make the combined power factor 0.90 lagging, and determine the
line current before and after the capacitors are added.

PROBLEM 8

Three loads are connected in parallel across a 12.47 kV three-phase supply.

Load 1: Inductive load, 60 kW and 660 kVar.

Load 2: Capacitive load, 240 kW at 0.8 power factor.

Load 3: Resistive load of 60 kW.

b) A Y-connected capacitor bank is connected in parallel with the loads. Find the total kVAr and the
capacitance per phase in μF to improve the overall power factor to 0.8 lagging. What is the new line
current?

PROBLEM 9

A balanced ∆-connected load consisting of pure resistances of 18 Ω per phase is in parallel with a purely
resistive balanced Y-connected load of 12 Ω per phase as shown in the following figure. The combination
is connected to a three-phase balanced supply of 346.41 V (line-to-line) via a three-phase line having an
inductive reactance of j3 Ω per phase. Taking the phase voltage 𝑉𝑎𝑛 as reference, determine:

a) The current, real power, and reactive power drawn from the supply.

b) The line-to-neutral and the line-to-line voltage of phase a at the combined load terminals.

PROBLEM 10

Three balanced loads are connected to a distribution line as depicted in the figure below. The loads are:

• Transformer: 12 kVA at 0.6 p.f. lagging.


• Motor: 14 hp with 80% efficiency at 0.8 lagging.
• Unknown load.

If the line voltage is 200 V, the line current is 120 A, and the power factor of the combined load is 0.95
lagging, determine the unknown load.
