3. Two balanced three-phase motors in parallel, an induction motor drawing 400 kW at 0.8 pf lagging and a synchronous motor drawing 150 kVA at 0.9 pf leading, are supplied by a balanced, three-phase, 4.16-kV source. Line impedances between the source and the load are neglected. a) Determine the power factor of the combined motor-load. b) Determine the magnitude of the line current in each motor c) Determine the magnitude of the line current delivered by the source.
