The load on a vessels distribution system comprises:
(i) motors totalling 1200 kW at a p.f. of 0.7 lag; (ii) lighting totalling 500 kW at unity p.f.: (iii) an over excited synchronous motor taking 200 kW at p.f.0.5 lead. This total load is shared by two identical alternators, one of which provides 1000 kVA at a p.f. of 0.85 lag. Calculate EACH of the following: (a) the kW supplied by the second alternator; (b) the kVA supplied by the second alternator; (c) the power factor of the second alternator;
