a) From Example 11.1,V_{\phi} = 115.22 V, I_{\phi} = 2.4 A, and\theta_{\phi}= -1.19 – (-36.87)= 35.68^{\circ} .Therefore

P_{\phi}= (115.22)(2.4) \cos 35.68^{\circ}

= 224.64 W.

The power per phase may also be calculated from I^{2}_{\phi},R_{\phi} or

P_{\phi}= (2.4)^{2}(39)= 224.64 W.

b) The total average power delivered to the load is P_{T}= 3P_{\phi}= 673.92 W. We calculated the line voltage in Example 11.1, so we may also use Eq. 11.36 \sqrt{3}V_{L}I_{L}\cos \theta _{\phi}:

P_{T}= \sqrt{3}(199.58)(2.4) \cos 35.68^{\circ}

= 673.92 W.

c) The total power lost in the line is

P_{line}= 3(2.4)^{2}(0.8) = 13.824 W.

d) The total internal power lost in the generator is

P_{gen}= 3(2.4)^{2}(0.2) = 3.456 W.

e) The total number of magnetizing vars absorbed by the load is

Q_{T} = \sqrt{3}(199.58)(2.4) \sin35.68^{\circ} .

= 483.84 VAR.

f) The total complex power associated with the source is

S_{T} = 3S_{\phi} = -3(120)(2.4) \angle36.87^{\circ} .

= -691.20 – j518.40 VA.

The minus sign indicates that the internal power and magnetizing reactive power are being delivered to the circuit. We check this result by calculating the total and reactive power absorbed by the circuit:

P = 673.92 + 13.824 + 3.456

= 691.20 W (check),

Q = 483.84 + 3(2.4)^{2}(1.5) + 3(2.4)^{2}(0.5)

= 483.84 + 25.92 + 8.64

= 518.40 VAR(check).
