Answer / k.prakashchandra

Input to single phase motor is 1150 VA, whereas to 3 phase
is about 1000 VA (line voltage=230 V)per HP. The efficiency
of single phase motor is less than that of 3 phase.

In the solution of load flow eqation, Newton raphson method is superior to the gauss siedal method because (a)the time taken to perform one iteration in the NR method is less when compared to GS method (b)the number of iterations required in the NR method is more compared to that in the GS method (c)the number of iterations required is dependant on the size of the system in the NR method (d)convergence characteristics of the NR mehod are not affected by the selection of the slack bus
