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!" ℧. 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) eTiciency 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 lagging? (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.
