Question: The figure shows a three - phase Y motor connected to a line - to - line voltage source ( 2 0 7 . 8

The figure shows a three-phase Y motor connected to a line-to-line voltage source (207.85 V) through a line impedance of \((2+4\mathrm{j})\); the motor impedance is \(30+40\mathrm{j}\).
1) Calculate the power factor of the circuit.
2) Calculate the values of a capacitor and a resistor branch parallel to the load to improve the power factor to 0.95, which results in minimum input current to the circuit. (hint: Use MATLAB or similar software and set the values of \( R \) from \(1\times 10^{-6}\) to 10, write your results in a Table form)
