Hi guys,
I would really appreciate some help with this problem(probably quite easy for anybody with Electrical Engineering experience).
Thanks in advance
A 415V, 50Hz, 3-phase supply is connected to a 3 phase load of 10kw with a power factor of 0.8 lagging. Find the magnitude of the line currents.
P = VICos(power factor)
Total Power = 3 V(p)I(p)cos(power factor)
Attempted the question using the equations above, except I obtained the wrong answer.
Correct answer = 17.39Amps
