Short Transmission line:

1.2m delta. Load conditions at receiving end are 10000 kVA at 0.8 p.f lagging 33000 volts,
50Hz. Line is designed so that transmission loss is approximately 10%. Find i) the sending –
end voltage and power factor; ii) transmission efficiency; and iii) voltage regulation.
2. A short 3 phase transmission line connected to a 33kV, 50 Hz generating station at the
sending end is required to supply a load of 10MW at 0.8 lagging power factor at 30kV at the
receiving end. If the minimum transmission efficiency is to be limited to 96% estimate the per

3. A 3 phase line, 3 km long delivers 3000kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging to a load. If the
voltage at supply end is 11kV, determine the voltage at the load end and the efficiency of
transmission. The resistance and reactance per km of each conductor are 0.4Ω and 0.8Ω
