Q.3 Three loads are connected in parallel as shown in Fig.3. The voltage across the load terminals is given as: V = 230 V rms at 50 Hz. The power consumed by each of these loads is as follows:
Load 1: 10 kW active power and lagging 10 kVAR
Load 2: 7 kW active power and leading 5 kVAR
Load 3: 3 kW active power and 0 kVAR
(a) Find the rms value of the source current (Is)
(b) Find the power factor of the three combined (pfi)
(c) Find the rms value of the source voltage (Vs)
(d) Find the power factor of the source (pfs)
