A 3-phase, star-connected alternator supplies a delta connectedload, each phase of which has a resistance of 15Ωand inductive reactance 20Ω. If the line voltage is 400V, calculate (a) the current supplied by the alternator and (b) the output power and kVA ratingof the alternator, neglecting any losses in the line between the alternator and the load.
Determine the operating power factor of a three phase balanced load if the readings of the two wattmeters properly connected to measure power is 3:1.
