Q2. An inductive load consisting of R and X in series feeding from a 2400-V rms supply absorbs 288 kW
at a lagging power factor of 0.8. Determine R and X
Q3. An inductive load consisting of R and X in parallel feeding from a 2400-V rms supply absorbs 288 kW
at a lagging power factor of 0.8. Determine R and X.
Q4. Two loads connected in parallel are supplied from a single-phase 240-V rms source. The two loads
draw a total real power of 400 kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. One of the loads draws 120 kW at a
power factor of 0.96 leading. Find the complex power of the other load.
Q5. The load shown in Figure 1 consists of a resistance R in parallel with a capacitor of reactance X. The
load is fed from a single-phase supply through a line of impedance 8.4 + j 11.2 Ω. The rms voltage at the
load terminal is 1200 ∠0° V rms, and the load is taking 30 kVA at 0.8 power factor leading.

Q6. Two impedances, Z1 = 0.8 + j 5.6 Ω and Z1 = 8 - j 16 Ω, and a single-phase motor are connected in
parallel across a 200-V rms, 60-Hz supply as shown in Figure 2. The motor draws 5 kVA at 0.8 power
factor lagging.
(a) Find the complex powers S1, S2 for the two impedances, and S3 for the motor.

determine whether they are delivering or receiving real and reactive power. Also, find the real and the
reactive power loss in the line.

source with a line-to-line voltage of 207.85 V rms. Taking Van as reference, determine the following:
(a) Current in phase a.

Q11. Three parallel three-phase loads are supplied from a 207.85-V rms, 60-Hz three-phase supply. The
loads are as follows:
Load 1: A 15 hp motor operating at full-load, 93.25 percent efficiency, and 0.6 lagging power factor.
Load 2: A balanced resistive load that draws a total of 6 kW.
Load 3: A Y-connected capacitor bank with a total rating of 16 kvar.

motor are operating but the capacitor bank is switched off?

Q13. A balanced Δ-connected load consisting of a 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 Figure 5. The combination is
connected to a three-phase balanced supply of 346.41-V rms (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.
