ASSIGNMENT
1. A single-phase overhead transmission line delivers 1100 kW at 33 kV at 0·8 p.f. lagging.
The total resistance and inductive reactance of the line are 10 Ω and 15 Ω respectively.
Determine:
(i) sending end voltage
(ii) sending end power factor
(iii) transmission efficiency
2. Estimate the distance over which a load of 15000 kW at a p.f. 0·8 lagging can be
delivered by a 3-phase transmission line having conductors each of resistance 1 Ω per
kilometer. The voltage at the receiving end is to be 132 kV and the loss in the
transmission is to be 5%.
3. A short 3-φ transmission line with an impedance of (6 + j 8) Ω per phase has sending and
receiving end voltages of 120 kV and 110 kV respectively for some receiving end load at
a p.f. of 0·9 lagging. Determine
(i) power output
(ii) sending end power factor
