MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A 3-phase motor load has a p.f. of 0.397 lagging. The two wattmeter method used to measure power show the input as 30 kW. Find the reading on each wattmeter.
Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
