Problem 02.
2. Problem 2.43 in Glover, Sarma and Overbye
A three-phase line, which has an impedance of (2 +j4) Ohms per phase, feeds two
balanced three-phase loads that are connected in parallel. One of the loads is Y
connected with an impedance of (30 + j40) Ohms per phase, and the other is connected with an impedance of (60 - j45) Ohms per phase. The line is energized at
the sending end from a 60-Hz, three-phase, balanced voltage source of 120 sqr(3) V
(rms, line-to-line).
Determine (a) the current, real power, and reactive power delivered by the sending
end source; (b) the line-to-line voltage at the load; (c) the current per phase in each
load; and (d) the total three-phase real and reactive powers absorbed by each load
and by the line. (e) Check that the total three-phase complex power delivered by the
source equals the total three-phase power absorbed by the line and loads.

Problem 03.
3. Problem 2.44 in Glover, Sarma and Overbye
Two balanced three-phase loads that are connected in parallel are fed by a threephase line having a series impedance of (0.4 + j 2.7) Ohms per phase. One of the
loads absorbs 560 kVA at 0.707 power factor lagging, and the other 132 kW at unity
power factor. The line-to-line voltage at the load end of the line is 2200 sqr(3) V.
Compute (a) the line-to-line voltage at the source end of the line, (b) the total real
and reactive power losses in the three-phase line, and (c) the total three-phase real
and reactive power supplied at the sending end of the line. Check that the total
three-phase complex power delivered by the source equals the total three-phase
complex power absorbed by the line and loads.

4. Problem 2.52 in Glover, Sarma and Overbye
A balanced three-phase load is connected to a 4.16-kV, three-phase, four-wire,
grounded-wye dedicated distribution feeder. The load can be modeled by an
impedance of ZL =(4.7 + j 9) Ohms/phase, wye-connected. The impedance of the
phase conductors (0.3 + j1) Ohms. Determine the following by using the phase A to
neutral voltage as a reference and assume positive phase sequence:
(a) Line currents for phases A, B, and C.
(b) Line-to-neutral voltages for all three phases at the load.
(c) Apparent, active, and reactive power dissipated per phase, and for all three
phases in the load.
(d) Active power losses per phase and for all three phases in the phase conductors.
