Volt-ampere (VA) is a measurement of power in a direct
current ( DC ) electrical circuit. The VA specification is
also used in alternating current ( AC ) circuits, but it is
less precise in this application, because it represents
apparent power , which often differs from true power
In an AC circuit, power and VA mean the same thing only
when there is no reactance . Reactance is introduced when a
circuit contains an inductor or capacitor . Because most AC
circuits contain reactance, the VA figure is greater than
the actual dissipated or delivered power in watts. This can
cause confusion in specifications for power supplies. For
example, a supply might be rated at 600 VA. This does not
mean it can deliver 600 watts, unless the equipment is
reactance-free. In real life, the true wattage rating of a
power supply is 1/2 to 2/3 of the VA rating
The VA figure is nominally 1.67 times (167 percent of)
the power consumption in watts. Alternatively, you can
multiply the VA rating of the power supply by 0.6 (60
percent) to get a good idea of its power-delivering
capability in watts.

1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
