A large industrial plant receives 3-phase electric power from the local utility. The following loads are being fed in the plant at 11.0 kV: 1.2 +j 1.2 MVA 2.0 MW at 0.8 (lag) power factor 800 kW of pure heating and lighting (negligible reactive power) load A number of induction motors: total power output of 3,000 HP, with a composite efficiency of 0.85 and power factor of 0.88 (lag) (i) Analyse the total active power, reactive power and apparent power (ii) Compute the overall (composite) load power factor and the full load current
