Answer»

A
small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is
situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V.
The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 Ω per
km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down
transformer at a sub-station in the town.



(a) Estimate
the line power loss in the form of heat.



(b) How
much power must the plant supply, assuming there is negligible power
loss due to leakage?



(c) Characterise
the step up transformer at the plant.
