P181-3.10:
a. real power delivered to the load

P  900  0.70  630 kW

b. maximum amount of additional real power that can be delivered to the load if power factor
remains unchanged:

Pmax  1000  0.70  630  70 kW

c. maximum amount of additional real power that can be delivered to the load if power factor is
corrected to 1.0

  1000  1.0  630  370 kW

Pmax

P182-3.12:
Before the power factor changes:
real power delivered to the load:
P1  750  0.8  600kW
monthly energy delivered to the load:

E 1  600  720  432,000kWh

Monthly bill:
432000  0.08  1000  10  44,560 $
After the power factor changes:
The real power remains unchanged, thus monthly energy delivered to the load remains unchanged,
too. Because the real power during peak periods also remains the same, the apparent power during
peak periods reduces to:
1000  0.8
S2   800kW

New monthly bill:
432000  0.08  800  10  42,560 $
Thus 2,000 dollars could be saved each month
P184-3.15:
a. False, since the average value of the waveform is nonzero, a0 is not zero

b. True, the function has symmetry about t = 0, i.e., an even function f (t) = f (−t), this implies
that it only has cosines.

c. False, see part b.

d. (skip d) False, see equation (3.101), f (t + T/2) ≠ −f (t) , there are even harmonics in the series.

P184-3.16:


2 / 

T 0  2 / 

or we can compute this value directly as below:

I a ,rms  (5  4 )  6.403 A
2 2 2

in the similar way, we can get

I b ,rms  I c ,rms  6.403 A

c. the neutral line current

in (t )  ia (t )  ib (t )  ic (t )  12 2cos(3 t ) A
d. the r.m.s value of the neutral line current

I n,rms  12 A
