Two balanced three-phase loads are connected to a balanced three-phase source with a voltage equal to 220 kV, frequency 60 Hz. The loads are as follows: Load 1: 30 MW with a power factor of 0.6 inductive Load 2: 45 Mvar with a power factor of 0.8 inductive a) Calculate the current flowing through each load b) Calculate the current which flows in the line that supplies these two loads. c) Determine the power that must be produced by a bank of three-phase capacitors connected at a triangle in parallel with the 2 loads to have an inductive power factor of 0.9. What is the capacitance of each capacitor
