An R-L series circuit is supplied from an ac voltage source v/t) = 12 cos 41 V. The complex
power delivered by the source is 5 = 3.6+j7.2 VA. Calculate the values of the resistance. र.
and the inductance, L. Evaluate the power factor.
The variation of current against frequency in a series R-L-C circuit is shown in Figure 4.
From the figure, obtain the resonant frequency of the circuit. If at resonance, the total voltage
across the RLC series circuit is 100४. evaluate the resistance in the circuit. What is the power
factor at resonance? Calculate the power dissipated in the RLC circuit at resonance. The
voltage, current etc are expressed in rms values.
Define ‘power factor’ in ac circuits. What is its value for (a) pure resistive circuit. (0) pure
inductive and (c) pure capacitive circuits? ١
A three-phase four-wire system has a balanced load in Y-connection. The phase impedance
of the load is 700 = 10{ 30 ൨. If the line-to-line voltage is 1 = 400 V rms, evaluate the
phase currents in polar form. Evaluate the total active power.
Draw the circuit diagram for measuring power in a three-phase three-wire system using two
wattmeter method, showing clearly the three-phase sources, the two wattmeters and the three-
phase loads connected in star connection. Can this method of power measurement be used for
measuring power with unbalanced three-phase loads?
A three-phase (ABC system assumed) delta connected balanced load is drawing a current of
101 - 30° in the AB arm of the delta. If the A- phase voltage is 23010, draw the phasor
diagram showing all the three phase-currents, three line-currents and three phase- voltages.
Lengths of voltages/currents may be shown at convenient scales. All angles have to be
indicated.
