In the circuit shown above, three loads are connected in parallel across a 200 V (rms) line. Load 1 absorbs 16 kW and 18 kVAR. Load 2 absorbs 10 kVA at 0.6 pf lead. Load 3 absorbs 8 kW at unity power factor. a) Find the impedance that is equivalent to the three parallel loads. b) Find the power factor of the equivalent load as seen from the line's input terminals.

In the circuit shown above, three loads are connected in parallel across a $200\mathrm{V}$ (rms) line. Load absorbs $16\mathrm{kW}$ and $18\mathrm{kVAR}$. Load 2 absorbs $10\mathrm{kVA}$ at $0.6\mathrm{pf}$ lead. Load 3 absorbs $8\mathrm{kW}$ at unit power factor. a) Find the impedance that is equivalent to the three parallel loads. b) Find the power factor of the equivalent load as seen from the line's input terminals.
