Question: A balanced 3 phase load is connected in a star configuration, developing an output of 1 2 M W with an efficiency of 9 0

A balanced 3 phase load is connected in a star configuration, developing an output of 12M W with an efficiency of 90%. The load is supplied with 3 phase at 50Hz via a line with impedance Z1 of (0.3+ j0.5) per phase. The power factor is 0.82 lagging and the voltage at the load is exactly 10kV line to line. Calculate: (a) the line current in complex number form. (5 marks)(b) the impedance of the load. (4 marks)(c) the magnitude of the line voltage at the supply. (5 marks)(d) the amount of the true and reactive power drawn from the supply. (5 marks)(e) the amount of power correcting Vars needed to improve the power factor to 0.9
