a) All step of your solution should be included easily in your task. Credit will be deducted for
correct answers if they are not sufficiently supported by your work.
b) The pdf file of your work shall be uploaded to http://kuliah.itb.ac.id/ by using your
kuliah.itb.ac.id id.
d) Discussion of problems among students is fine and allowed, but each person must work the
problems individually and hand in his/her own papers.
e) When assignments involve Matlab programs, each person must enter his/her own programs into
the files submitted for credit, NOT copying pieces of code from others.
1. Two impedances, Z1 = 0.8 + j 5.6 Ω and Z2 = 8 − j 16 Ω, and a single phase motor are connected
in parallel across a 200-V rms, 60-Hz supply. The motor draws 5 kVA at 0.8 power factor
lagging.
a. Find the complex powers S1, S2 for the two impedances, and S3 for the motor.
b. Determine the total power taken from the supply, the supply current, and the overall
power factor.
c. A capacitor is connected in parallel with the loads. Find the kvar and the capacitance in
µF to improve the overall power factor to unity. What is the new line current?

2. A 3 phase 4 wire 400 V system feeds three load 10 - j 8 Ω, 12 Ω, and 8 + j 10 Ω connected in
star. Find
a. The line currents
b. Neutral current
c. Total active power
Answer:
𝑍𝑎 = 10 − 𝑗8Ω = 12,81∠−38,66𝑜 Ω
𝑍𝑏 = 12Ω = 12∠0𝑜 Ω
𝑍𝑐 = 8 + 𝑗10Ω = 12,81∠51,34𝑜 Ω
Let

𝐼𝑐 = = 18,028∠−291,34𝑜 𝑉
𝑍𝑐
𝐼𝑛 = −(𝐼𝑎 + 𝐼𝑏 + 𝐼𝑐 ) = 15,84∠−134,1𝑜 𝑉
𝑃𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑃𝑎 + 𝑃𝑏 + 𝑃𝑐 = 10.296, 35 𝑊
