Example
Define Units:
Or in one step:
The total reactive power drawn form the source will be
Assuming the active power drawn by the load remains constant the apparent power drawn by the load will be
The resultant power factor angle will be
In the system shown in Figure P2.8, find I
(a) Z
(b) Za = Zb = Zc = j 1.0
Since the system is not a balanced system we cannot apply per phase analysis.
Applying KVL along different loops we have:
Substituting
we have
Collecting terms we are left with:
Three equations and three unknowns. Put this into matrix form:
Notice that the currents are still fairly close to balanced three phase.
Voltage from N' to N:
Roughly 0.71% of source voltage.
Applying per phase analysis we have
As a check, use the matrix equations set up for part A:
