Question: Two star - connected motors are connected to a three - phase, 4 8 0 V supply. The details of the motors are as follows:

Two star-connected motors are connected to a three-phase, 480 V supply. The details of the motors are as follows:
Motor 1 is a 100 Hp induction motor, that operates fully loaded with an efficiency of 92\(\%\) at a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
Motor 2 is a 50 Hp synchronous motor, that is also fully loaded with an efficiency of 90\(\%\) at a power factor of 0.9 leading.
Two wattmeters are used to measure the total power drawn by the motors. Wattmeter \(\mathrm{W}_{1}\), has its current coil connected in the red line, and its voltage coil connected across the red and yellow lines.
Calculate:
i. The current drawn by each motor through the red line.
ii. The power measured by Wattmeter \(\mathrm{W}_{1}\).
iii. The line current measured by Wattmeter \(\mathrm{W}_{2}\).
iv. The power measured by Wattmeter \(\mathrm{W}_{2}\).
Recall that \(1\mathrm{hp}=746\mathrm{~W}\)
