Electrical Transmission

20. A 3-phase, 50 Hz, overhead transmission line delivers 10 MW at 0-8 p.f. lagging and at 66 kV. The
resistance and inductive reactance of the line per phase are 10 Q and 20 Q respectively while
capacitance admittance is 4 x 10- 4 Siemen. Calculate: (I) the sending end current

(ii) Sending end voltage (line-to-line) (iii) sending end power factor

(iv) Transmission efficiency Use nominal T method. [Ans. (i) 100 A

(ii) 69 8 kV (iii) 0 852 (IV) 97 5%]
