For the power system shown in the figure, if the
transmission line (T.L.) length is 50 km and the
reactance per unit length is 0.75 ohm/km, choose the
base voltage of 161 kV and the base power of 100
MVA.

Example (2)
A transformer is rated 75 MVA, 345/138 kV, with an impedance of 0.1 p.u..
(a)The transformer, under certain load conditions, carries 0.6 p.u. of current. What is the actual
current in:
• The high-voltage winding?
• The low-voltage winding?
(b)The low-voltage terminals of the transformer are short-circuited, and 0.22 p.u. voltage is
applied to the high-voltage winding.
Determine the resulting currents in:
• The high-voltage winding
• The low-voltage winding
Express each current in both per-unit (p.u.) and Amperes (A).
