QUESTION:

The balanced three-phase load of a large commercial building requires 480 kW at a lagging power factor of 0.8. The load is supplied by a connecting line with an impedance of 5 + j25 m\(\Omega\) for each phase. Each phase of the load has a line-to-line voltage of 600 V rms. Determine the line current and the line voltage at the source. Also, determine the power factor at the source. Use the line-to-neutral voltage as the reference with an angle of \(0^ \circ\).
