  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 3-phase AC motor has a power factor of 0.8 and an efficiency of 90%. If the load current is 20 A per phase, what is the total power input to the motor?

    • A) 3 kW
    • B) 3.5 kW
    • C) 4 kW
    • D) 4.5 kW

    Answer: 4 kW

    Explanation: Using the power input formula, the total power input is calculated from P_input = P_out / η, giving 4 kW
