A customer's plant has two loads in parallel connected to the distribution lines of the power plant. The first load consists of 50 KW of heating and is resistive. The second load is a set of motors operating at 0.86 retarding power factor. The motor load is 100 KVA. Power is fed to the plant at 10,000 volts rms. Determine the total current flowing from the facility lines in the plant and the power factor of the entire plant.
