could somebody show me the formula for this question ?

a 3 phase 400vlt delta connected motor draws a line current of 27.5A a full load at a power factor of 0.78 lagging. determine the total power ?

cheers.

 
Voltage stays the same

Phase current would be IL/1.73

giving 15.877A per phase

15.877x3 = 47.63A

400 x 47.63 x 0.78 = 14.86KW or 14860.872W

Easier Calculation

P = root3 x VL x IL x PF
