A three-phase line has an impedance of 0.4 j2.7 ohms per phase. The line feeds two balanced three-phase loads that are connected in parallel. The first load is absorbing 560.1kVA at 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 volts. 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 power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line.

Answer:

a. The magnitude of the line source voltage is

Vs = 4160 V

b. Total real and reactive power loss in the line is

Ploss = 12 kW

Qloss = j81 kvar

Sloss = 12 + j81 kVA

c. Real power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line

Ss = 540.046 + j476.95 kVA

Ps = 540.046 kW

Qs = j476.95 kvar

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The magnitude of the line voltage at the source end of the line.

The voltage at the source end of the line is given by

Vs = Vload + (Total current×Zline)

Complex power of first load:

S₁ = 560.1 < cos⁻¹(0.707)

S₁ = 560.1 < 45° kVA

Complex power of second load:

S₂ = P₂×1 (unity power factor)

S₂ = 132×1

S₂ = 132 kVA

S₂ = 132 < cos⁻¹(1)

S₂ = 132 < 0° kVA

Total Complex power of load is

S = S₁ + S₂

S = 560.1 < 45° + 132 < 0°

S = 660 < 36.87° kVA

Total current is

I = S*/(3×Vload) ( * represents conjugate)

The phase voltage of load is

Vload = 3810.5/√3

Vload = 2200 V

I = 660 < -36.87°/(3×2200)

I = 100 < -36.87° A

The phase source voltage is

Vs = Vload + (Total current×Zline)

Vs = 2200 + (100 < -36.87°)×(0.4 + j2.7)

Vs = 2401.7 < 4.58° V

The magnitude of the line source voltage is

Vs = 2401.7×√3

Vs = 4160 V

b. Total real and reactive power loss in the line.

The 3-phase real power loss is given by

Ploss = 3×R×I²

Where R is the resistance of the line.

Ploss = 3×0.4×100²

Ploss = 12000 W

Ploss = 12 kW

The 3-phase reactive power loss is given by

Qloss = 3×X×I²

Where X is the reactance of the line.

Qloss = 3×j2.7×100²

Qloss = j81000 var

Qloss = j81 kvar

Sloss = Ploss + Qloss

Sloss = 12 + j81 kVA

c. Real power and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line

The complex power at sending end of the line is

Ss = 3×Vs×I*

Ss = 3×(2401.7 < 4.58)×(100 < 36.87°)

Ss = 540.046 + j476.95 kVA

So the sending end real power is

Ps = 540.046 kW

So the sending end reactive power is

Qs = j476.95 kvar
