In a 3-phase, 4 wire system there is a balanced 3-phase motor load taking 20 kW at a power factor of 0.8 agging while lamps connected between phase conductors and the neutral are taking 5, 4 and 10 kW respectively. Voltage between line conductors is 430 V. Calculate the current in each conductor and in he neutral wire of the feeder supplying these loads. (Ans. 51.2 A ; 47.5 A ; 80 A ; 22.4 A]

refer to the answers so that i will know if my solution is correct.

In a 3-phase, 4 wire system there is a balanced 3-phase motor load taking 20 kW at a power factor of 0.8
lagging while lamps connected between phase conductors and the neutral are taking 5, 4 and 10 kW
respectively. Voltage between line conductors is 430 V. Calculate the current in each conductor and in
the neutral wire of the feeder supplying these loads.
