A balanced three-phase star connected load of 100 kW takes a leading current of 80 amp, when connected across a three-phase 1100 V, 50 Hz, supply. Find the circuit constants of the load per phase. |
|
Answer» Voltage per phase = 1100/1.732 = 635 V Impedance = 635/80 = 7.94 ohms. Due to the leading current, a capacitor exists. Resistance R can be evaluated from current and power consumed 3I2R = 100 × 1000, giving R = 5.21 ohms Xc = (7.942 – 5.212)0.5 = 6 ohms At 50 Hz, C = 1/(314 × 6) = 531 micro farads. |
