1. The line constants of a three-phase long transmission line are: 𝐴 = 𝐷 = 0.853 +
𝑗0.016, 𝐵 = (31.4 + 𝑗137) Ω, 𝐶 = (−5 + 𝑗855) ∗ 10−6 ℧. The load at the receiving end is 100MVA
at 220kV line to line and 0.8pf lagging. Determine the voltage at sending- end of the line.

2. A three-phase, 50 Hz transmission line has resistance, inductance, and capacitance per phase of
1 Ω, 0.3 H and 0.01 μF, respectively and delivers a load of 25 MW at 110 kV and 0.8 lagging
power factor. Using the nominal-π method, determine (a) ABCD constants, (b) sending-end
voltage, current, and power factor, (c) percentage regulation, and (d) efficiency of the
transmission line.
3. An 18 km, single-circuit, three-phase line having 𝑍 = 8.57∠60.35° Ω delivers 2500 kW at 11 kV
to a balanced load. (a) What must be the sending-end voltage when the power factor is 0.8 lagging,
unity, and 0.9 leading? (b) Determine the percentage regulation of the line at the above power
factors. (c) Draw phasor diagrams depicting the operation of the line in each case.
