Relevant Equations
load kVA = load/power factor
For question 2.28, the load kVA requires the use of power factor before calculating the line current, while eg 2.7 do not. May I ask why do they have the difference of using PF or not? Thank you.

In 2.28 you are given the load in kW. In 2.27 you are given the load in kVA.
