3. One line diagram of a three-phase power system is shown in Fig. P3.1. Three single-phase
transformers, each with an impedance of X1 = 0.24  (on the low-voltage side with negligible
resistance and magnetizing current) and turns ratio N2/ N1 = 10, are connected in a three-phase
bank. The transformer bank is delivering 100 MW at 0.8 PF lagging to a substation bus whose
voltage is 230 kV.
(a) Determine the primary current magnitude, the primary voltage (line-to-line) magnitude,
and the three-phase complex supplied by the generator. Use the line-to-neutral voltage
at the bus, Va’n’, on the secondary side as reference. Account for the phase shift.
(b) Find the phase shift between the primary and secondary voltages
