SECTION A: (COMPULSORY)
a) Determine the power demand by completing Appendix 1.
b) Considering the apparent power demand to be equal to 248kVA and by envisaging an extension of loads of 25%,
select using appendix 2 the characteristics of the transformer to be installed.
c) With the aid of appendix 3, determine the capacitance of the bank of capacitors to correct the power factor of
workshop 2 from 0.86 to 0.96 if the installed power is 146kW.

SECTION B (OPTIONAL)
a) The cable from BB 1 to BB2 carries a current of 276A at a p.fof 0.85. This is made up of a PVC insulated copper
three–core cable which is installed touching 3 other multi–core cables on perforated trays in an ambient
temperature of 40°C. Using appendix 4, 5 and 6, determine the cross–sectional area of this cable. ^ (15 marks)
b) The cable from BB 1 to BB2 has a resistivity of 0.0225£lmm 2/m and linear reactance of 0.08* 10 T2/m. Calculate
the relative voltage drop if the length of the cable is 55m. 00 marks)
