An unknown impedance Z is connected across a 380 V, 60 Hz source. This causes a current of 5A to flow and 1500 W is consumed. Determine the following: a. Real Power (kW) b. Reactive Power (kvar) c. Apparent Power (kVA) d. Power Factor e. The impedance Z in polar and rectangular form

a) Real Power (kW) = 1.5 kW

b) Reactive Power (kvar) is 1.1663 KVAR

c) Apparent Power (kVA) is 1.9 KVA

d) the Power Factor cos∅ is 0.7894

e) the impedance Z in polar and rectangular form is 76 ∠ 37.87° Ω

Explanation:

Given that;

V = 380v

i = 5A

P = 1500 W

determine;

a) Real Power (kW)

P = 1500W = 1.5 kW

therefore Real Power (kW) = 1.5 kW

b) Reactive Power (kvar)

p = V×i×cos∅

cos∅ = p / Vi

cos∅ = 1500 / ( 380 × 5 ) = 0.7894

∅ = cos⁻¹ (0.7894)

∅ = 37.87°

Q = VIsin∅

Q = 380 × 5 × sin( 37.87° )

Q = 1.1663 KVAR

Therefore Reactive Power (kvar) is 1.1663 KVAR

c) Apparent Power (kVA)

S = P + jQ

= ( 1500 + J 1166.3 ) VA

S = 1900 ∠ 37.87° VA

S = 1.9 KVA

Therefore Apparent Power (kVA) is 1.9 KVA

d) Power Factor

p = V×i×cos∅

cos∅ = p / Vi

cos∅ = 1500 / ( 380 × 5 ) = 0.7894

Therefore the Power Factor cos∅ is 0.7894

e) The impedance Z in polar and rectangular form

Z = 380 / ( S∠-37.87) = V/I

Z = ( 60 + j 46.647) Ω

Z = 76 ∠ 37.87° Ω

Therefore the impedance Z in polar and rectangular form is 76 ∠ 37.87° Ω

explanation:

unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members, power screws are used to transmit power. common applications of power screws are: screw jacks: to lift weight. lead screw of lathe: for axial movement of tool and its precise positioning.
