A three-phase generator with an effective line voltage of 6000 V supplies the following four balanced loads

Question:

A three-phase generator with an effective line voltage of 6000 V supplies the following four balanced loads in parallel: 16 kW at pf = 0.8 lagging, 24 kW at pf = 0.6 lagging, 4 kW at pf = 1, and 1 kW at pf = 0.1 leading.

(a) Find the total average power (P) supplied by the generator, reactive power (Q), apparent power (S), power factor, and effective value of line current.

(b) Find the amount of reactive load Qc to be added in parallel to produce an overall power factor of 0.9 lagging. Then find apparent power and effective value of line current.
