Problem 1 {6+2+2=10 points}: Two balanced 3-phase loads are connected in parallel. One is Y- connected and draws 75 kW (3-phase) at 0.8 power factor lagging. The other is A - connected and draws 60 KVA (3-phase) at 0.9 power factor leading. The loads are supplied by a balanced 3-phase voltage source of 480 V (line-to-line), 60 Hz, Determine: {a) The magnitude of the source line current, (b) The amount of capacitive VARs (3-phase) needed to make the overall power factor to be 1.0.
