Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Two balanced Y-connected loads in parallel, one drawing 15kW at 0.6 power factor lagging and the other drawing 10kVA at 0.8 powe

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) $pf_{C}=0.85$ $lagging$

(c) $I_{C} =32.37 A$

(d) $X_{C} =49.37$ Ω

(e) $I_{cap} =9.72 A$ and $I_{line} =27.66 A$

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_{1}=15 kW$

$S_{2} =10 kVA$

$pf_{1} =0.6$ $lagging$

$pf_{2}=0.8$ $leading$

$V=480$ $Volts$

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

$\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13$ °

$\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86$ °

$S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA$

$Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99$ ≅ $20kVAR$

$P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW$

$Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99$ ≅ $-6 kVAR$

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming

Then the combined load will be

$P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW$

$Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR$

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

$S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j$

or in the polar form

$S_{c} =26.92$ °

$pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85$ $lagging$

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

$S=VI^{*}$

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

$I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V$

$I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A$

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

$Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3$ Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is

$I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A$

Line current flowing from the source is

$I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A$

The thrust angle is checked by referencing

anygoal [31]

In Engineering, the thrust angle is checked by referencing: C. vehicle centerline.

<h3>What is a thrust angle?</h3>

A thrust angle can be defined as an imaginary line which is drawn perpendicularly from the centerline of the rear axle of a vehicle, down the centerline.

This ultimately implies that, the thrust angle is a reference to the centerline (wheelbase) of a vehicle, and it confirms that the two wheels on both sides are properly angled within specification.

Technician A states that a brake lathe is used to make a used brake rotor surface "like new". Technician B states that a brake l

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct.

Explanation: A brake lathe is a special tool used to improve or work on the surface of brake pads it helps to smoothen the surface.

Brake lathe has been found to be very effective in removing rusts in rotors and unevenness in the brake pad surfaces in order to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the brake system of a vehicle. Hence, a brake lathe helps to make brake rotor surface as smooth as possible.
