Solution

The correct option is C 17.60 kVA
For the given three phase diode rectifier, the dc output voltage of bridge,
V0=3Vm,LLπ=32×480π=648.227V
The average load current,
I0=V0R=648.22725=25.929 A
As ripple in output is negligible
I0,rms=I0
The rms source current,
Is,rms=(23)I0,rms=23×25.929=21.170 A
The apparent power from source
=(3)(VLLrms)(Isrms)
=3×480×21.170
=17.6 kVA
