MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A delta-connected balanced three-phase load is supplied from a three-phase, 400 V supply. The line current is 20 A and the power taken by the load is 10 kW. Find the power factor.
Simple logic of reactance diagram is that simplified equivalent circuit of power system in which the various components of power system are represented by their reactances. The reactance diagram can be obtained from impedance diagram if all the resistive components are neglected.
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + IXsinφ)/V_r For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - IXsinφ)/V_r Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
