1. The power customer has four circuits of 220 Volts, three-phase.

The circuits have the maximum demand as follows:
Circuit No. 1 = 35 Amp; Circuit No. 3= 72 Amp.
Circuit No. 2 – 46 Amp; Circuit No. 4 = 57 Amp
The diversity factor is 1.5, the load factor is 50%, and the power
factor is 80%. What is the approximate kW demand of the customer?

2. The current loads of four circuits are as follows:

Circuit No. 1 = 25 Amp Circuit no. 3 = 18 Amp
Circuit No. 2 = 38 Amp Circuit no. 4 = 4 45 Amp
If diversity factor is 1.5 What is the minimum ampacity of the
feeder conductor

3. Power customer is applying for source listed the loads as follows:

5-15 hp motors,
3-5 hp motors
8 kW, lighting loads
3.5 kW, miscellaneous loads
The demand factor is 65% and the power factor is 80% wherein the
load factor is 46%. What is the maximum kW demand for the
customer?
4. An industrial plant has a maximum demand of 750 kVA at 80% p.f.
lagging. It is desired to improve the p.f. to 90% using shunt
capacitors which cost P800/kVA with annual interest and
depreciation of 10%. The demand charge is P500/kVA maximum demand.
What is the annual savings after putting capacitor ?

5. The metering of a power customer was read and gave the following
data:
kW-hr = 200,000 Maximum demand = 380 kW
kVAR-hr = 180,000 billing days = 30
What is the load factor

6. A power plant has an annual factor as follows : Load 58.5% Capacity

40.9% and use 45.2% . The reserve carried over and above peak load
is 8,900kW. The hours per year not in service and installed capacity
of this plant are respectively ?
