A balanced 3-phase star-connected load draws power from a 435 V supply. The two wattmeters connected indicate W1 = 18 kW and W2 = 1.4 kW. Calculate the total power and power factor. Total Power in kW Power Factor
Added by Carmen J.
Step 1
The total power in a three-phase system is given by the sum of the readings of the two wattmeters. So, the total power P = W1 + W2 = 18 kW + 1.4 kW = 19.4 kW. Show more…

A balanced three-phase source supplies power to three loads. The loads are Load $1: 24 \mathrm{kVA}$ at $0.6 \mathrm{pf}$ lagging Load $2: 10 \mathrm{kW}$ at 0.75 pf lagging Load 3: unknown If the line voltage at the load is $208 \mathrm{V} \mathrm{rms}$, the magnitude of the total complex power is $35.52 \mathrm{kVA}$, and the combined power factor at the load is 0.88 lagging, find the unknown load.
