1. Determine the voltage at the generating station and the efficiency of the following system
(Figure 1): Both transformers have ratio of 2KV/11KV. The resistance on LV side of
Figure 1:
both transformers is 0.04 ohm and that on HV side is 1.3 ohm. Reactance on LV and
HV side of both transformers is 0.125 ohm and 4.5 ohm respectively. [Ans: Efficiency
= 96.3%, Vs = 2168 Volts]
2. A load of three impedances each (6+j9) is supplied through a line having an impedance
of (1+j2) ohm. The line-to-line voltage is 400 volts 50 Hz. Determine the power input
and output when the load is
(a) star connected and,
(b) delta connected.
[Ans: (a) 6591W, 5649W (b) 14124.9W, 9416W]
3. Determine the efficiency and the regulation of a 3-phase, 100km, 50Hz transmission line
delivering 20MW at a p.f. of 0.8 lagging and line-to-line voltage 66KV to a balanced
load. The conductors are of copper, each having resistance 0.1 ohm per km, 1.5 cm
outside diameter, spaced equilaterally 2 meters between centres. Neglect leakage and
use nominal-T method. [Ans: % Regulation = 17.4%, % Efficiency = 93.5%]
4. Determine the efficiency and the regulation for above problem using nominal-Π model.
[Ans: % Regulation = 17.47%, % Efficiency = 93.5%]
5. A three phase 50 Hz transmission line is 400 km long. The voltage at the sending end
is 220 KV. The line parameters are r=0.0125 ohm/km, x=0.4 ohm/km and y = 2.8 ×
10−6 mho/km. Find the sending end current and receiving end voltage when there is
no-load on the line. [Ans: Sending end current = 152A, Receiving end voltage =
241.7582 KV]
