1. QUESTION 1 (25 points)


A single phase 600 V, 60 Hz feeder supplies 2 loads in parallel: (a) a heating load with a
10 Ω resistance; (b) a 70 kVA motor load, with a power factor of 0.70 (lagging). Compute
the total current, power, reactive power and power factor. Draw the V-I vector diagram. A
capacitor is connected in parallel with the loads to increase the power factor to 0.95.
Compute the reactive power supplied by the capacitor and the value of the capacitor
bank in µF.

2. QUESTION 3 (25 points)

Three identical single-phase 69 kV/6.9 kV, 60 Hz, 33 MVA distribution transformers, with
a leakage reactance of 0.10 on the transformer base, are fed from the 69 kV bus. They
supply two three phase 12 kV loads connected in parallel: a 60 MW, 0.8 power factor
(lagging) load (assume a Y connection) and a capacitor bank of three elements (-j15 Ω)
connected in ∆ (hint: convert into Y). Compute: (a) total line current; (b) the total power
and total reactive power drawn from the feeder; (c) the resulting power factor. Draw the
single line pu circuit, using a 100 MVA, 12 kV base.

3- A 300 MVA, 20 kV three-phase generator has a subtransient reactance of 20%.


The generator supplies a number of synchronous motors over 64-km
transmission line having transformers at both ends, as shown in Fig. 1.11. The
motors, all rated 13.2 kV, are represented by just two equivalent motors. Rated
inputs to the motors are 200 MVA and 100 MVA for M1 and M2, respectively.
For both motors X” = 20%. The three phase transformer T1 is rated 350 MVA,
230/20 kV with leakage reactance of 10%. Transformer T2 is composed of three
single-phase transformers each rated 127/13.2 kV, 100 MVA with leakage
reactance of 10%. Series reactance of the transmission line is 0.5 Ω/km. Draw
the impedance diagram, with all impedances marked in per-unit. Select the
generator rating as base in the generator circuit.

4- A 120 MVA, 19.5 kV generator has Xs = 0.15 per unit and is connected to a
transmission line by a transformer rated 150 MVA, 230 Y/18Δ kV with X = 0.1 per unit. If
the base to be used in the calculation is 100 MVA, 230 kV for the transmission line, find the
