Textbook Solutions for Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis

Chapter 11 Problem 11.79

Question

A balanced three-phase source serves two loads: Load 1: 36 kVA at 0.8 pf lagging Load 2: 18 kVA at 0.6 pf lagging The line voltage at the load is 208 V rms at 60 Hz. Find the line current and the combined power factor at the load.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A balanced three-phase source serves two loads: Load 1: 36 kVA at 0.8 pf lagging Load 2: 18 kVA at 0.6 pf lagging The line voltage at the load is 208 V rms at 60 Hz. Find the line current and the combined power factor at the load.
From the textbook chapter POLYPHASE CIRCUITS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
