Question

A three-phase line has a impedance of 0.4+j2.7 per phase. The line feeds 2 balanced three-phase loads that are connected in parallel. The first load absorbs 560.1 kVA 0.707 power factor lagging. The second load absorbs 132 kW at unity power factor. The line to line voltage at the load end of the line is 3810.5 V. Determine: a. The magnitude of the line voltage at the source end of the line b. Total real and reactive power loss in the line c. Real and reactive power delivered by the supply

Answer 1

a) 4160 V

b) 12 kW and 81 kVAR

c) 54 kW and 477 kVAR

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The phase voltage is given as:

`V_p=(3810.5)/(√(3) )=2200 V`

The complex power S is given as:

`S=560.1(0.707 +j0.707)+132=660\angle 36.87^o \ KVA`

`where\ S^*\ is \ the \ conjugate\ of \ S\\Therefore\ S^*=660\angle -36.87^oKVA`

The line current I is given as:

`I=(S^*)/(3V)=(660000\angle -36.87)/(3(2200)) =100\angle -36.87^o\ A`

The phase voltage at the sending end is:

`V_s=2200\angle 0+100\angle -36.87(0.4+j2.7)=2401.7\angle 4.58^oV`

The magnitude of the line voltage at the source end of the line (
`V_(sL)=√(3) |V_s|=√(3) *2401.7=4160V`

b) The Total real and reactive power loss in the line is:

`S_l=3|I|^2(R+jX)=3|100|^2(0.4+j2.7)=12000+j81000`

The real power loss is 12000 W = 12 kW

The reactive power loss is 81000 kVAR = 81 kVAR

c) The sending power is:

`S_s=3V_sI^*=3(2401.7\angle 4.58)(100\angle 36.87)=54000+j477000`

The Real power delivered by the supply = 54000 W = 54 kW

The Reactive power delivered by the supply = 477000 VAR = 477 kVAR
