Question 1 |
A 3-phase, star-connected, balanced load is supplied from a 3-phase, 400V (rms), balanced voltage source with phase sequence R-Y-B, as shown in the figure. If the wattmeter reading is -400 \mathrm{~W} and the line current is \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{R}}=2 \mathrm{~A}(\mathrm{rms}), then the power factor of the load per phase is
Unity | |
0.5 leading | |
0.866 leading | |
0.707 lagging |
Question 1 Explanation:
By observation of wattmeter connection, the wattmeter read reactive power
\because Wattmeter reading,
W=Y_{Y B} I_{R} (Angle between V_{Y B} and I_{R}.
Phasor diagram :
\therefore \quad W=V_{\mathrm{L}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{L}} \cos \left(90^{\circ}-\beta\right)
=V_{L} I_{L} \sin \phi
Given: \quad W=-400 \mathrm{~W}
\therefore \quad-400=400 \times 2 \times \sin \phi
\Rightarrow \quad \phi=-30^{\circ}
Thus, P.F. =\cos \phi=0.866 leading

Question 2 Explanation:
First perform delta to star conversion
we know, for balanced load
Z_{star}=\frac{Z_{delta}}{3}=\frac{18+j24}{3}=6+j8\Omega
Draw the per phase diagram:
Z_{eq}=(6+j8)||(6+j8)=(3+j8)\Omega =5\angle 53.13^{\circ} \Omega
Therefore, Meter reading, I=\frac{100}{5}=20A
Z_{star}=\frac{Z_{delta}}{3}=\frac{18+j24}{3}=6+j8\Omega
Draw the per phase diagram:
Z_{eq}=(6+j8)||(6+j8)=(3+j8)\Omega =5\angle 53.13^{\circ} \Omega
Therefore, Meter reading, I=\frac{100}{5}=20A

The condition for balanced bridge
\begin{aligned} R_{AB}R_{CD}&=R_{DA}R_{BC} \\ R_{CD} &=\frac{300 \times 100}{1000}=30\Omega \\ %Error &=\pm (2.1+0.5+0.4)=\pm 3% \\ \therefore \; R_{CD}&=30\pm 30 \times \frac{3}{100}=30\pm 0.9\Omega \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} R_{AB}R_{CD}&=R_{DA}R_{BC} \\ R_{CD} &=\frac{300 \times 100}{1000}=30\Omega \\ %Error &=\pm (2.1+0.5+0.4)=\pm 3% \\ \therefore \; R_{CD}&=30\pm 30 \times \frac{3}{100}=30\pm 0.9\Omega \end{aligned}
