Solution

To calculate the power produced by the motor, we can use the formula for power in an AC circuit:

P = VI * PF

where: P is the power in watts, V is the voltage in volts, I is the current in amperes, and PF is the power factor.

Given: V = 208 volts, I = 18 amps, and PF = 0.8 (lagging).

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

P = 208 volts * 18 amps * 0.8 = 2995.2 watts

So, the motor is producing 2995.2 watts of power.
