2.7. Two impedances, Z1 = 0.8+j5.6 Ω and Z2 = 8-j16 Ω, and a single-phase motor are connected in parallel across a 200-V rms, 60-Hz supply as shown in Figure 2.23. 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; (b) Determine the total power taken from the supply, the supply current, and the overall power factor: (c) A capacitor is connected in parallel with the loads. Find the kvar and the capacitance in μF to improve the overall power factor to unity: What is the new line current?
