Question: 2 . A balanced 3 - phase ( 2 4 0 - mathrm { V } 5 0 - mathrm { Hz

2. A balanced 3-phase \(240-\mathrm{V}50-\mathrm{Hz}\) source supplies power to a 3-phase induction motor, a balanced delta connected load with per-phase impedance of \(50/60^{\circ}\Omega \), and a star-connected resistive load with \(10\Omega \) perphase impedance. The motor draws a total of 2 kVA at power factor of 0.7.
Sketch a circuit diagram for the entire system of three loads. (5 marks)
Determine the following parameters:
a) Line current for each load (12.5 marks)
b) Phase current for each load (12.5 marks)
c) Source line current (\(\mathbf{10}\) marks)
d) Active power taken by each load (\(\mathbf{12.5}\) marks)
e) Reactive power taken by each load (\(\mathbf{12.5}\) marks)
f) Overall power factor of the system (10 marks)
Design a capacitor bank required to correct the overall power factor to \(100\%\). Specify the values of the capacitors and show their connection on the circuit diagram. (25 marks)
