Question

The output of 2200 Volts three phase induction motor used in a factory is
800 HP. If the average p.f. is 0.8. Assume an average efficiency for the
motor of 90 % (a) find the line current and kVA capacity of the generator
supplying the factory. (b) If 400 HP of this load is noe supplied by
synchronous motor operating at 0.8 leading p.f. find the reduction in line
current and kVA capacity of generator.
