You’re the operator of a 15000Vrms, 60HZ electrical substation. When you get to work one day, you see that the station is delivering 6MWof power with a power factor of0.90.

a. What is the rms current leaving the station?

b. How much series capacitance should you add to bring the power factor up to 1.0?

c. How much power will the station then be delivering?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a).The rms current leaving at station is 0.44kA

(b). The value of capacitance should be added is 1.80x10-4F

(c). The power leaving by station is7.4MW

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that you’re the operator of a 15000Vrms/60HZ electrical substation. When you get to work one day, you see that the station is delivering 6MWof power with a power factor of 0.90.

We need to find that What is the rms current leaving the station?

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

We know that the avg power is

P =IrmsErmscos∅Irms=PErmscos∅Irms=6x10615x103x0.9Irms=0.44kA

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that you’re the operator of a 15000Vrms/60HZ electrical substation. When you get to work one day, you see that the station is delivering 6MWof power with a power factor of 0.90.

We need to find that How much series capacitance should you add to bring the power factor up to 1?

Commercial electricity is generated and transmitted as three-phase electricity. Instead of a single emf E=E0cosvt, three separate wires carry currents for the emfs E1=E0cosvt,E2=E0cos1vt+120°,andE3=E0cos1vt-120°. This is why the long-distance transmission lines you see in the countryside have three parallel wires, as do many distribution lines within a city.

a. Draw a phasor diagram showing phasors for all three phases of a three-phase emf.

b. Show that the sum of the three phases is zero, producing what is referred to as neutral. In single-phase electricity, provided by the familiar electric outlets in your home, one side of the outlet is neutral, as established at a nearby electrical substation. The other, called the hot side, is one of the three phases. (The round opening is connected to ground.)

c. Show that the potential difference between any two of the phases has the rms value where is the familiar single-phase rms voltage. Evaluate this potential difference for . Some high-power home appliances, especially electric clothes dryers and hot-water heaters, are designed to operate between two of the phases rather than between one phase and neutral. Heavy-duty industrial motors are designed to operate from all three phases, but full three-phase power is rare in residential or office use.
