Let's solve **Problem 1** step-by-step:

---

### **Given:**
- **Load 1:** 60 kVA, PF = 0.80 lagging
- **Load 2:** 30 kVA, PF = 0.75 lagging  
- **Line Voltage at Loads ($V_{LL}$):** 208 V (rms), 3-phase, 60 Hz

**Asked:**  
(a) Magnitude of line currents ($I_L$)  
(b) Power factor at which the source is supplying power ($PF_S$)

**Provided Answers:**  
a) $I_L = 249.641$ Arms  
b) $PF_S = 0.784$ lagging

---

## **Step 1: Calculate Total Apparent Power ($S_{total}$)**

$$
S_{1} = 60\, \text{kVA}
$$
$$
S_{2} = 30\, \text{kVA}
$$
$$
S_{total} = S_{1} + S_{2} = 60 + 30 = 90\, \text{kVA}
$$

---

## **Step 2: Calculate Total Real ($P$) and Reactive ($Q$) Power**

For each load,  
$$
P = S \cdot PF
$$
$$
Q = S \cdot \sin(\cos^{-1}(PF))
$$

### **Load 1:**
$$
P_1 = 60 \times 0.80 = 48\, \text{kW}
$$
$$
\theta_1 = \cos^{-1}(0.80) = 36.87^\circ
$$
$$
Q_1 = 60 \times \sin(36.87^\circ) = 60 \times 0.6 = 36\, \text{kVAR}
$$

### **Load 2:**
$$
P_2 = 30 \times 0.75 = 22.5\, \text{kW}
$$
$$
\theta_2 = \cos^{-1}(0.75) = 41.41^\circ
$$
$$
Q_2 = 30 \times \sin(41.41^\circ) = 30 \times 0.6614 = 19.84\, \text{kVAR}
$$

### **Totals:**
$$
P_{total} = 48 + 22.5 = 70.5\, \text{kW}
$$
$$
Q_{total} = 36 + 19.84 = 55.84\, \text{kVAR}
$$

---

## **Step 3: Calculate Overall Apparent Power $S_{total}$**

$$
S_{total} = \sqrt{P_{total}^2 + Q_{total}^2}
$$
$$
S_{total} = \sqrt{70.5^2 + 55.84^2}
$$
$$
S_{total} = \sqrt{4970.25 + 3119.71}
$$
$$
S_{total} = \sqrt{8089.96} = 89.94\, \text{kVA}
$$
(Rounds to 90 kVA, as expected.)

---

## **Step 4: Calculate Line Current ($I_L$)**

For a three-phase system:
$$
S_{total} = \sqrt{3} V_{LL} I_L
$$
$$
I_L = \frac{S_{total}}{\sqrt{3} V_{LL}}
$$
$$
I_L = \frac{89940}{\sqrt{3} \times 208}
$$
$$
I_L = \frac{89940}{360.624}
$$
$$
I_L = 249.641\, \text{A}
$$

---

## **Step 5: Calculate Source Power Factor ($PF_S$)**

$$
PF_S = \frac{P_{total}}{S_{total}}
$$
$$
PF_S = \frac{70.5}{89.94}
$$
$$
PF_S = 0.784
$$
(Since both loads are lagging, the overall PF is also lagging.)

---

## **Final Answers:**

**a) Magnitude of the line currents:**  
$$
\boxed{I_L = 249.641\, \text{A}}
$$

**b) Power factor at source:**  
$$
\boxed{PF_S = 0.784\ \text{lagging}}
$$
