Steady State Performance of Transmission Lines

1. A single-phase line supplied a load of 100 KVA at a power factor of 0.75 (lagging)
and a voltage of 2.2KV. The line has a total resistance of 1.5 ohms and a total
inductive reactance of 2.5 ohms. Calculate the voltage at the sending-end, the input
power in kW, efficiency and regulation factor.

2. A Single-phase line has an impedance of 5 60 ohm and supplies a

load of 120 amperes, 3.3KV at 0.8 lagging power factor. Calculate the sending-
end voltage and draw the phasor diagram

3. A three-phase transmission line delivers 20MVA, power factor 0.8 (lagging) at 66

kV at the receiving-end. Each conductor has a resistance of 10 ohms, and inductive
reactance of 30 ohms, and admittance due to capacitance between conductors (line
to neutral) of 4x10-4mho. Calculate the voltage, current, and power factor at the
sending end, and the efficiency of transmission.

4. A three-phase transmission line, 100km long, has the following constants:

Resistance per line, 12 ohms; inductance per line, 0.155 henry; capacitance
between each line and neutral, 1.2 µF. A load of 30 MW at 0.8 power factor
(lagging) is connected to the distant end and is to be supplied at 120 kV, 50 Hz.
Determine the voltage at the sending-end of the line-using the nominal T method.

5. A three-phase, 50 Hz overhead transmission line, 60 km long with 132 kV between

the lines at the receiving-end, has the following constants:
Resistance per km per phase=0.25 ohm
Inductance per km per phase=2.0 millihenrys
Capacitance per km per phase=0.014 microfarad.
Determine, using an approximate method of allowing for the capacitance, the
voltage, current and power factor at the sending-end when the load at the receiving-
end is 70000 kW at 0.8 power factor lagging. Draw a phasor diagram for the circuit
assumed.

6. A three-phase, 50 Hz transmission line, 50 km long, supplies at the receiving-end, a

load of 60 MVA, 0.8 power factor (lagging), at 120 kV. Determine the voltage,
current and power factor at the sending-end, using the nominal П method. The
resistance per km of conductor is 0.3 Ω the inductance per km per phase is 2 mH
and the capacitance to neutral per km is 0.015 µF.
