Question: Three parallel single - phase loads are supplied from a 2 2 0 - V rms , 6 0 Hz single - phase supply. The

Three parallel single-phase loads are supplied from a 220-V rms,60 Hz single-phase supply. The load data is given below Load 1: 3036.87 kVA Load 2: 16 kW,0.85 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?
