3. Two balanced Y-connected loads A and B are connected across an abc-sequence three-phase 3-wire balanced source. Load A draws 6 kW at 80% power factor logging while load B draws 12 kW at 83.5% power factor leading. The line impedance per phase is 3 + j4 ohms. If the current in three lines are each equal to 8 A. determine the following: a) overall power factor of the system b) magnitude of the line current in each load. c) magnitude of the line voltage at the source.

Answer number 3
3. Two balanced Y-connected loads A and B
are connected across an abc-sequence
three-phase 3-wire balanced source. Load A
draws 6 kW at 80% power factor logging while
load B draws 12 kW at 83.5% power factor
leading. The line impedance per phase is 3 + j4
ohms. If the current in three lines are each
equal to 8 A. determine the following:
a) overall power factor of the system
b) magnitude of the line current in each load.
c) magnitude of the line voltage at the source.
