• A load with an inductive component causes current to lag voltage.
• If the voltage phasors are divided by I, we get impedance triangle.
• If the voltage phasors are multiplied by I, we get the power triangle.

A 10 µ F capacitor is connected in series with a 270 resistor across a 20 V,
50 Hz supply. Calculate (a) the current fl owing, (b) the p.d.s across the

• 1. A coil having a resistance of 6 Ω and an inductance of 0.03 H is connected
across a 50 V, 60 Hz supply. Calculate:
(a) the phase angle between the current and applied voltage;
(b) the apparent power;
(c) the active power.

NUMERICAL
Solution: (a) The phasor diagram for such a circuit is given in Figure.
Reactance of circuit = 2πfL = 2 × 3.14 × 60 × 0.03
XL = 11.31 Ω
Impedance ZL = √{62 + (11.31)2} = 12.8 Ω
Current I = V/ZL = 50/12.8 = 3.9 A

NUMERICAL
Solution: A purely reactive load must be added to the system, and it is
clear that it must be added in parallel, since the supply voltage to the
induction motor must not change. The circuit of Fig. is thus applicable if
we interpret S1 as the induction motor’s complex power and S2 as the
complex power drawn by the corrective device.
17
NUMERICAL
The complex power supplied to the induction motor must have a real
part of 50 kW and an angle of cos−1(0.8), or 36.9°. Hence,
S1 = (50/0.8)∟36.9◦ = 50 + j37.5 kVA
In order to achieve a PF of 0.95,
the total complex power must become
S = S1 + S2 = (50/0.95)∟cos−1(0.95)
= 50 + j16.43 kVA
Thus, the complex power drawn by the corrective load is
S2 = −j21.07 kVA

NUMERICAL
The necessary load impedance Z2 may be found in several simple steps.
We select a phase angle of 0° for the voltage source, and therefore the
current drawn by Z2 is

An a.c. generator is supplying a load of 300 kW at a power factor of

NUMERICAL
Solution:
V = VR + VLr (phasor sum)
By the geometry of the diagram:
V2 = V2R+ V2Lr + 2VRVLr cos φLr
=> 2302 = 1302 + 1802 + 2 × 130 × 180 × cos φLr
cos φLr = 0.077
I = VR/R = 130/30 = 4.33 A
=> Pr = VLr I cos φLr = 180 × 4.33 × 0.077 = 60 W

A single-phase motor operating off a 400 V, 50 Hz supply
is producing 10 kW output with an efficiency of 84% and a
power factor (p.f.) of 0.7 lagging. Calculate:
(a)the input apparent power;
(b)the active and reactive components of the current;
(c)the reactive power (in kilovars).
24
NUMERICAL
Solution:
a)Efficiency = output power in watts / input power in watts
= output power in watts / (VI×pf)
=> 0.84 = (10×1000) / (VI×0.7)
=> VI = 17000 VA => Input |S| = 17 kVA
