Please Help - Determine the Terminal Voltage

02/29/2012 6:04 AM

I am struck at this question from 2 days.Hope so the admins will help me out :)
A generator feeds two loads , A and B , over lines of resistances and reactances as shown in Figure.Given : Load A,10KW at 0.8 power factor leading ; load B , 12 KW at .707 Power Factor lagging at 220 V. Determine the terminal voltage at A.

The impedances are 0.15 ohm , 0.35j ohm ( between G and A )
and

0.30 ohm , 0.70j ohm ( between A and B )

[Answer = 275.7 V]

How did you determine your answer? lets see your work.

Lets start with load B

the average power at load B is 12000 W

so, VI * .707 = 12000

or I = 12000/.707*220 A = 77.15 <-45 A

Now at the other elements voltage drop = 77.15 (.3 + .7j) = 58.75 < 21.8 V

So,the terminal voltage at A = 220<0 + 58.75 < 21.8 V = 275.42 < 4.54 V (which infact is not the actual answer)

How close to you have to get ? 275.42 = 275.7 in this line of work.

I think the phase angle I am getting is wrong (cuz the magnitude is soo close)
The question has other parts too,where we need to find the current in all wires and the P.F. fed up by the generator.There all the answers are coming wrong.So, basically I want to say that maybe the angle is not correct !!
