Example 1
• Find real and reactive power for all the elements.

Example 2
• Determine the reactive power of the load.
• Determine the power loss (real and reactive) in the transmission line.

Example 3
• For the circuit shown in Figure P13.77, find the currents IA, IB, IC and IN, and the real power dissipated by the load.

Example 4
• If we model each winding of a three-phase motor like the circuit
shown in Figure (a) and connect the windings as shown in Figure (b),
we have the three-phase circuit shown in Figure (c). The motor can be
constructed so that R1 = R2 = R3 and L1 = L2 = L3, as is the usual case. If
we connect the motor as shown in Figure P13.68(c), find the currents
IR, IW, IB, and IN , assuming that the resistances are 40Ω each and each
inductance is 5 mH. The frequency of each of the sources is 60 Hz.

Example 6
A center-tapped transformer has the schematic representation shown below. The primary-side voltage is stepped down to two secondary-side
voltages. Assume that each secondary supplies a 7−kW resistive load and that the primary is connected to 100 V rms. Find:
a. The primary power.
b. The primary current.

Example 7
A center-tapped transformer has the schematic representation shown below. The primary-side voltage is stepped down to a secondary-side
voltage V ̃ sec by a ratio of n:1. On the secondary side, Vsec1= Vsec2=0.5 Vsec.
[Link] Vprim=220∠0◦Vrms and n=11, find ̃Vsec, Vsec1,and Vsec2.
[Link] must be n if Vprim=110∠0◦Vrms and we desire| ̃Vsec2|to be 5Vrms?

Example 8
• Assume 𝑽 ෩ 𝒈 = 80∠0 V rms, 𝑅𝑔 = 2 Ω, and 𝑅𝑂 = 12 Ω. Assume an ideal transformer. Find: (a) the equivalent resistance seen by the voltage
source and (b) the power 𝑃𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒 supplied by the voltage source.

Example 9
An ideal transformer is rated to deliver 460 kVA at 380 V to a customer, as shown in Figure P13.4 5.
a. How much current can the transformer supply to the customer?
b. If the customer’s load is purely resistive (i.e., if pf = 1), what is the maximum power that the customer can receive?
c. If the customer’s power factor is 0.8 lagging, what is the maximum usable power the customer can receive?
d. What is the maximum power if the pf is 0.7 lagging?
e. If the customer requires 300 kW to operate, what is the minimum power factor with the given size transformer?
