Question: Q 6 . A three - phase 4 1 5 V , 5 0 Hz supply is connected to a factory which has a star

Q6. A three-phase 415V,50Hz supply is connected to a factory which has a star (Y) connected motor,
requiring 10kVA per phase at a p.f of 0.8(lag), and a heating load Y-connected, requiring 7kW per
phase.
a) Calculate the total per phase current supplied to the factory.
b) Calculate the capacitance per phase of the star connected capacitor bank necessary to
obtain unity p.f of the combined load.
c) Calculate the new total current per phase supplied to the factory at unity p.f
