Answer:
a. 30.O7A
b. no reading
Explanation:
for the first load with power factor 0.8, we calculate the reactive power
note the reactive power is calculated as
where p=power
a. for the first load the reactive power is
for the second load the reactive power is
The total reactive power is the summation of both reactive power in he load
and the total real power is 25kw
Hence using Pythagoras theorem to calculate the apparent power we have
Hence we can determine the source current using
b. in a balance 3phase system, there is no neutral current, Hence the ammeter will read zero current
