A three-phase motor rated 25 hp, 480 V, operates with a power factor of 0.74 lagging and supplies the rated load. The motor efficiency is 96%. Calculate the motor input power, reactive power and current.

the motor input power is 19.42 KW

the Reactive power is 17.65 KVAR

Current is 31.56 A

Explanation:

Given that;

V = 480V

h.p = 25 hp

p.f = 0.74 lagging

n_motor = 96%

so output = 25hp

and we know that;

1hp = 746 watt

watt = hp × 1hp

so output in watt = 25 × 746 = 18650 Watt = 18.65 KW

n_motor = (output / input) × 100

96 = 1865 / Input

96Input = 1865

Input = 1865 / 96

Input = 19.42 KW

Therefore the motor input power is 19.42 KW

P = √( 3 × V × I × cos∅)

19.42 = √( 3 ×480 × I × 0.74)

I = 31.56 A

Therefore Current is 31.56 A

Q = √( 3 × V × I × sin∅)

we know that

cos∅ = 0.74

so ∅ = cos⁻¹(0.74) = 42.26

so we substitute

Q = √( 3 × 480 × 31.56 × sin(42.26))

 = 17.65 KVAR

Therefore the Reactive power is 17.65 KVAR

no he didnt use it

explanation:

he said no

answer:

the army does care about its soilders sir i think yout getting off on the wrong foot sir you need to respect our country were keeping the peole that want to d harm towards you out. so dont go saying we don't care cause we do
