a) If the synchronous motor is adjusted to operate at a power factor of 0.83 lagging. What is the
current in the transmission line of the system?
b) If the synchronous motor is adjusted to operate at a power factor of 0.83 leading. What is the
current in the transmission line.
SOLUTION
a) In the first case, the apparent power of the load is 200 KVA, the active power will be:
