Read the following passage and then answer questionson the basis of your understanding of the passage and the related studied concepts. A small township with a demand of 880 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 20 km away from a mini hydropower generating station generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 ohm per km. The town gets power from the line through a 11 kV-220 V step down transformer at a substation at the township. If the electric substation of township starts supplying power to the township, using a 33 kV - 220 V step down transformer then estimated value of line power loss in the form of heat will change to |

Answer» 384 kW [Hint: If line voltage is V = 33 kV, then line current `I. = P/(V.) = (880 kW)/(33 kV) = 80/3 A` `therefore` Line power LOSS `=I^(2)R =(80/3)^(2) xx 20 = 14200 W = 14.2 kW` |
