Question: Problem - 1 ( 4 0 Points ) Three parallel single - phase loads are supplied from a ( 2 2 0 -

Problem-1(40 Points)
Three parallel single-phase loads are supplied from a \(220-\mathrm{V}\mathrm{rms},60\mathrm{~Hz}\) single-phase supply. The load data is given below
Load 1: \(30\angle 36.87^{\circ}\) kVA
Load 2: \(16\mathrm{~kW},0.85\mathrm{pf}\) lagging
Load 3: 5 kvar, 0.866 pf leading
Answer the following questions
(a)[20 Points] Determine the total active, reactive, apparent, and complex power delivered by the source.
(b)[10 Points] Determine the supply current and the load power factor.
(c)[5 Points] Calculate the kvar rating of the capacitor required to improve the power factor of the load to 0.95 lagging.
(d)[5 Points] Determine the supply current when the capacitor in part (c) is connected across the loads.
(e)[5 Points] Compare the current magnitude in part (b) and part (d). Does the supply current increase or decrease? State valid reasons.
(f)[5 Points] What are the advantages of improving the power factor?
