Power distribution - Per unit question problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an exam question involving power distribution and per unit calculations. The user seeks clarification on the origin of the complex power S=75(0.8-j0.6) and the determination of Vr=0.97 p.u. It is noted that the 75 derives from 60/0.8, while the bracketed values relate to a power factor of 0.8, suggesting a 3:4:5 triangle. Additionally, the calculation of 0.97 is linked to the ratio of 32/33, emphasizing the per unit system where values are expressed as fractions of nominal. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving similar power distribution problems.

Hi,

exam question:
23vl0tg.jpg


My doubts start where it comes up with: S=75(0.8-j0.6) and Vr = 0.97 p.u.

Its easy to determine that 75 comes from 60/0.8, but where is the part in the brackets coming from ?

Also how was the 0.97 determined ?

Thanks in advance.

does not PF of 0.8 dictate a 3::4::5 triangle? (0.6::0.8::1.0) ? that's the bracketed part.

and 32/33 = .97?

remember it's per unit - everything a fraction of nominal.
 
This must be way he did it, Thanks.
