A single-phase source delivers power to three loads that are connected in parallel: (i) a resistive heater drawing 18 kW, (ii) a squirrel cage motor drawing 15 kVA at 0.92 power factor lagging, and (iii) a synchronous motor operating at 11 kW shaft power¹ (with 90% efficiency) and 0.95 power factor leading. • Draw the power triangle for each of the three parallel connected loads. • Determine the average power, reactive power and apparent power delivered by the source. Draw the source power triangle.

Question
A single-phase source delivers power to three loads that are connected in parallel: (i) a resistive
heater drawing 18 kW, (ii) a squirrel cage motor drawing 15 kVA at 0.92 power factor lagging, and
(iii) a synchronous motor operating at 11 kW shaft power¹ (with 90% efficiency) and 0.95 power
factor leading.
• Draw the power triangle for each of the three parallel connected loads.
• Determine the average power, reactive power and apparent power delivered by the source.
Draw the source power triangle.
