This document contains three power system calculation problems involving unity power factor correction, motor input power, and load calculations on a wye-delta system. For the first problem, the reactance required for unity power factor on a 132kV system with 70.7% power factor is calculated to be 348.473 ohms. The second problem determines the input power to a 460V, 208A motor with 0.9 power factor is 149.15 kW. The third and longest problem involves calculating line and phase currents, power, reactive power, and apparent power for a wye-connected load supplied from a delta source.
