Resistance, R=100ΩR=100\Omega

Capacitance, C=31.8μFC=31.8\mu F

Line Voltage, VL=415VV_L=415V

Frequency of AC supply, f=50Hzf=50Hz

Impedance, Z=R2+(12πfC)2Z=\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}

                      =(100)2+(100.10)2\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space=\sqrt{(100)^2+(100.10)^2}

                      =141.50 Ω\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space=141.50\space\Omega

VPh=VL3=4153=239.60 VV_{Ph}=\dfrac{V_L}{\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{415}{\sqrt{3}}=239.60\space V

Power factor, cosϕ=RZ=0.706cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}=0.706

IPh=VPhZPh=1.69 AI_{Ph}=\dfrac{V_{Ph}}{Z_{Ph}}=1.69\space A

Line Current, IL=IPh=1.69 AI_{L}=I_{Ph}=1.69\space A

Total Power absorbed , Ptotal=3×IPh2×RPh=3×286.72=860.16 WP_{total}=3\times I_{Ph}^2\times R_{Ph}=3\times 286.72=860.16\space W
