Considering 3core 185Sq mm XLPE cable;
Cable resistance and Reactance per KM = 0.164 + j 0.082
Length of cable, L = 900 meter
Maximum current carried by the cable, I 2x1600
(At ful load of both 1600 KVA Transformers) = --------
3 x 11
= 168 Amperes
===========
3 x I

Voltage drop in cable = ----
1000
= 3 x 168

x 900 0.164 + 0.082

------
1000
= 48V

48x100
% Voltage drop = --------- = 0.44%
11000 =====
Acceptable since % voltage drop is much below the permissible 3%
