A three-phase system includes a 346.4 V line-to-line supplying a three-phase motor rated 15KVA 0.8pf lag plus additional balanced constant impedance loads. The single-phase representation of the system is shown below. Assume that sources and loads are Y-connected. 1. What is the RMS value of the line current, I in A? 2. If this set of loads will be supplied through a service transformer. What should the minimum size of the transformer in kVA? 3. What should be the size of three-phase capacitor(that will be added to the load mix) to improve power factor to almost 0.95 lag?
Short Transmission Line
A short transmission line is a transmission line that has a length less than 80 kilometers, an operating voltage level of less than 20 kV, and zero capacitance effect.
Power Flow Analysis
Power flow analysis is a topic in power engineering. It is the flow of electric power in a system. The power flow analysis is preliminary used for the various components of Alternating Current (AC) power, such as the voltage, current, real power, reactive power, and voltage angles under given load conditions and is often known as a load flow study or load flow analysis.
Complex Form
A power system is defined as the connection or network of the various components that convert the non-electrical energy into the electric form and supply the electric form of energy from the source to the load. The power system is an important parameter in power engineering and the electrical engineering profession. The powers in the power system are primarily categorized into two types- active power and reactive power.
